You live in Alabama and don’t carry a gun? Sounds like a problem only for a beta

Blasting water moccasins with a shotgun is a vivid memory of my childhood. My father owned some property with a creek that guaranteed you would see multiple snakes every trip out there.

No, you didn’t.

Snakes don’t charge people. They swam in your general direction. If they were “charging” you, they wouldn’t have turned away when they had you right where they supposedly wanted you.

WOW!

This is what happens 99.9% of the time. Snakes very rarely pursue a human. They will defend themselves when cornered but their first choice of action is to escape.

If any of this is true, it is likely that the snakes were diamondback water snakes (which are thick like a cottonmouth). Cottonmouths stand fast or retreat when they encounter something. Contrary to what you hear, they are not aggressive.

Diamondback water snakes are feisty as hell and are known to be pugnacious.

There's a video of a guy that goes to an island loaded with water moccasins. None of them come out to get him or show any signs of aggression.

Moccasins, like most snakes, don't attack. Normally, the only way you get bit is if you stumble upon them suddenly without notice. They fear humans, and strike out of defense.

I really, really doubt these 2 snakes were charging you. They were probably clueless to your even being there.

Only way to stop them is to take away their credit cards.
