here's one I took in a creek on a dog walk last week. My dad says its a watersnake and I say its a cottonmouth.
I'd say cottonmouth, but I'm not the best snake IDer, especially from pics. Sure looks like one, though.
Cool pic.

I keep about half my property in Hammond wild and there’s a pretty big creek running behind me so I have plenty of snakes. I rarely see them unless I go looking for them and then they are pretty easy to find.
18 years here, have never seen or found a water moccasin or a rattlesnake. Plenty of copperheads though they are seasonal. Kings, garters, dekays, rats, water snakes and corn snakes aplenty.
OP is a puss
rando is FOS

That’s 2 snakes. The one that is winning is a cottonmouth.

Did you just count them out on your hands? Weird number to throw out there.

I handed my oldest a 4.5' speckled king when he was 5. After about 30 seconds it reached back and got him on the hand. He threw it about 20 yards towards the back fence.
It was hilarious but we never saw that beautiful protector again.
You're a pussy.

Yeah pretty sure its a cottonmouth eating some kind of watersnake that I have no idea what its name is. When we came back by 30 min later the mocc was gone but there was a watersnake that looked larger and of the same species within 15ft of where this happened. My theory is that the two watersnakes were fukin and didn't see the cottonmouth and one got bit. Otherwise I'd think its pretty hard for a cottonmouth to run down a watersnake or bite a normally aware watersnake.

No one day I saw a report on annual
Venomous snakebites by state. That year La had a pretty high number. I was discussing that number with people at a corp hunting camp - there were 20-25 people there and 2 had been bitten. So I started asking around…
I was with 3 people bitten 2 moccasins and one copperhead. All 3 deserved the bites. First person I knew was girl across the street from me when I was 11 - she didnt deserve her bite. also since social media I have seen a few people I know post on fb about getting bit. I’m old and know and talk to a lot of people. Oddly 2016 and 2020 make up 6 of that number.

The biggest cluster frick is actually finding a hospital with the correct antivenom.

Yeah, in the US you don't need to have proof of the snake that bit you, unless it is a coral. All other snake bites can be treated the same.
It isn't really the question of a hospital having antivenom. It is more an issue of having antivenom that isn't expired, having enough antivenom to treat the bite(s), and having a doctor with the knowledge and/or experience in treating snake bites. And that last bit is mainly a concern if you are one of the few who have things not go well with recovery or you, for some reason, don't have a "normal" reaction to the bite.

I want to say that sometime back Missouri decided to stop giving antivenin to people bitten by copperheads because the effectiveness and side-effects of the antivenin wasn't worth the trouble.
I should google that to see how far off I mis-remember but o-well.

My son was bitten by a copperhead 13 years ago and they didn't give him antivenin in Lake Charles. The swelling was pretty bad and the pain lasted a few weeks, but the doctor decided antibiotics would be the safe route.

I understand how women and kids freak out around harmless snakes, but for god sake, act like a fricking man. The frick wrong with you.

Any antihistamines or steroids?

Any antihistamines or steroids? I would wager heavily on that

I generally leave even venomous snakes to do their thing unless they are next to the house, but I don’t get all the clutching of pearls. My heeler killed a lizard this morning if one of y’all wants to come pick it up and give it a proper burial.

That would make sense but it’s been too long for me to remember. I DO remember putting marks on his leg with a sharpie every hour to measure the swelling. The nurse was aggravated for my helping.
