This Everglades cottonmouth is the biggest I've ever seen.

To hell with that

It's forced perspective. Again. It's a big cottonmouth, but not particularly unusual. Four feet max. Also, I hate that guy. His videos are all sensational crap to get clicks.

The guy who is really nuts is the camera guy. I realize he is using his zoom to get the close shots but that camera has got to hinder his ability to move quickly.

go watch some of Austin Stevens snake documentaries.

he gets real up lose and personal with his camera.

I don't like forced perspective, either, Teague, but still, that thing is BIG. I've never seen a cottonmouth live and in person, so it is unusual to me and my fellow hillbillies. Just how big DO they get???

That thing is huge and pissed.

The body appears to be the size of a softball

Crawfishing with my cousin back in the day when there was no Judge Perez Dr. in Chalmette, just swamps and woods back where Buccaneer Villa North was built.

I was walking down a bank to get to the water to check on some nets we had put out and saw what I thought was a motorcycle tire in the weeds on side of the steep bank. Thinking I'd use the tire to steady my feet, I planted a foot firmly atop it----------and it moved,,,fast. That is when I realized it was a moccasin and it scared the crap out of me. I saw it hit the water and take swim off.

Short day crawfishing.

Not afraid of snakes, but I do have a healthy respect for them, especially toxic ones.

That was one huge moccasin in that link.

That snake is thicc

I got bit by a cotton mouth that was close to 3 feet long. It really sucked.
