I honestly couldn't be specific They are similar but the markings on cottonmouth are more jagged and I think the yellow on the tail is also a sign.

I just know, okay.


ETA: google tells me the yellow on tail occurs on both species. Looks like cottonmouths are usually redder though (like your pic)...Its all in the contours of the markings.

shite, you're right. Both juvi species have a yellow tail. Now I'm not sure. Either way, it's a dead poisonous viper. Good riddance.
