This is correct. Also, the copperhead markings, even as a juvenile, are shaped similar to a "hershey kiss" although many times they are connected over the top by a thin band. Cottonmouth markings are more like jagged bands.

Looks like a cottonmouth to me. I killed a fat 3 1/2 foot copperhead last night

Nice lawn, I’m jealous. After I killed all the buttonweed I had I was left with mud.

Herpetologist over my shoulder here at McNeese says that's your basic juvy copper head. Stop over thinking it.

This.

OP, although there are copperheads in the BR area, but you're more likely to come across a cottonmouth around here than a copperhead. And that's a juvenile cottonmouth.

Either way, this is why I light up the yard with a bright light if I have to walk in the yard at night. Breaker tripped on MODAD tonight and my first thought was walking to that part of yard and getting a full dose from a juvy
