im not gonna do a file search....just a guess or two.
I know Rattlesnake Pilot, Pilot Rattlesnake or sometimes just Pilot Snake are common names given to Black ratsnakes because they share dens and have supposedly been observed "leading" rattlesnakes to the densite. Copperheads are also sometimes refered to as the same thing for the same reason.
Flat headed adder aka spreadin' adder....hognosed snake
water rattler? I dunno...watersnake of some kind?.....or pygmy rattlers are often found around the banks of canals in Florida...shrug?
I dont have guesses for the rest at all LOL and I ain't searchin yahoo

Just guesses from the top of my head here.
1. tough one, a rough green maybe? Can't be a ribbon snake, that would be too easy [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
2. Water Snake cause it rattles it's tail?
3. Rainbow Snake or Mud Snake
4. hmmm, Black Racer
5. Garter Snake
6. Copperhead (grasping at straws on this one )
7. Black Ratsnake
8. Easy one, that is a Cottonmouth (we still use that one [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img])
9. Crotalus lepidus (Rock Rattler), only really light one I know off the top of my head
10. Soft Shell Turtle?
11 Any box Turtle after it's been run over
12. Northern Leopard Frog
Man, I am going to score as low as Eddie usually does on these! How depressing [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

I bet you are right on the Hognose. I saw a field guide recently that had Hognoses listed as PUFF ADDERS!
