I thought you were trying to find Jody when I first read the title.

The wife got home yesterday afternoon and announced she saw a snake in the front garden bed. I checked it out and sure enough there was a baby diamond back water snake nestled in a corner of the bed.

Now, this is in the middle on N.O. in Mid-City with absolutely no open water anywhere nearby---not even a damn ditch to be found. So, I gathered it up and took it over to City Park to put it in an out of the way place near one of the lagoons. It will either survive or become food for one of the ducks or egrets that inhabit the waterways.

looks like a copperhead, still poisonous

here is a link that shows a juvenile cottonmouth, based on the photo I would say it is a cottonmouth.

My son had a ball game early on a Saturday a couple hours away. We were a little late leaving and didnt know if he was on turf or dirt so I told him to go grab his spikes and turf shoes. The spikes were outside.

Had been on the road about 20 minutes when a toad jumped up on top of side of my ankle area. I almost shite myself when I reached down and felt that wet nasty thing. If it had been a cottonmouth, yall woulda read about the wreck.

Looks like black stripes near head, making me lean cottonmouth. Young coloring will be less dark than adults. But copperheads and cottonmouths are closely related.

I've never seen a cotton mouth in those colors! Just sayin.

I’m just amazed that this is a Newsweek story
