First time I have gotten a good shot of a venomous snake where there was no glass between us. :-)

He definitely was not a happy camper, and did not understand that all I wanted to do is take his picture.

Nice shot of what looks like a Cottonmouth Moccasin to me. If you want to see their famous grin, you need to tickle them with a stick. :-P

You're both correct... According to University of Georgia's Herpetology Program

Description: Cottonmouths are venomous semi-aquatic snakes often referred to as “water moccasins.”

BTW, nice capture of a Cottonmouth/Water Moccasin.
