The Visitor
Spent the last few days playing in the swamp. On first morning we had several eastern cottonmouths (Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus ) swim up to check us out. This large fellow seemed very curious and appeared at least twice a day to see what we were doing.

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. – John Quincy Adams (1821)

The cottonmouth was probably about 4 - 4.5 feet in total length.

Re: The Visitor

Re: The Visitor
It's great that you were spending time in that awesome environment. And that beautiful snake was just checking to see if you would be "fair game"...!!!

OK Ekke - you meant "WHEN are these guys going to take a nap..." and I agree, this is probably just what he was thinking!!! Dangerous place to sleep!
