said there is no such thing as poisonous "water moccasins" in La. There are water snakes, grass snakes, and cottonmouths, and only the latter are poisonous and a danger to humans.
isnt a cotton mouth a type of moccasin?

Cottonmouth = water moccasin
Moccasins = cottonmouths, copperheads, and cantils.

Unless you want to get anal retentive with Asian moccasins, yes, so much. Moccasin is a common name, and in the Americas it is generally used for those three species.

Yeah, common names tend to be somewhat colloquial here.
