snake id (finished skin pic added)

<< < (8/8)

NTD:
I'm viewing this from my phone so I can't see detail, but that's a gorgeous snake!  Wasn't trying to bust your gut Justin with that comment jvst messing around.  I should remember that sarcasm doesnt translate well on forums.  If you want to see ID confusion you should see our scutulatus and atrox.  Often the ONLY way to id them is scale count and then it gets really fuzzy when they hybridize Ahh

beetlebailey1977:
Yes that is a Cottonmouth.  You can see the pit in front of the eye.  Not to mention the patterns and the head give it away.

mullet:
 And you can tell by counting the scales. ;) A real good site for snakes in our area of Florida and Georgia and Alabama is the University of Florida's. Great photo's and habitat info. People living in Florida would be suprised at how many different species of snake is here.
