I had my snake hook today and i fliped some siding laying next to the house and found this. its about 7inches long really bitey. I took these pics and put em' back. its mouth was white on the inside too. any ideas?

Re: I.D. this snake
First, it is NOT a northern water snake... you live in the south, in TEXAS.
Two, definitely NOT a water moccasin.
I'm guessing it's a baby racer of some kind, or a different species of water snake, but that's a wild guess.

I went and looked at a few examples of Cottonmouths both old and young. Cottonmouths seem to be banded(as neonates and juveniles), and this seems to be more checkered. What made me think cottonmouth was your quote commenting on aggressive nature, near water, and white mouth. So since it is not a Cottonmouth, I have no idea.
