Lake Ramsay WMA right in your back yard


Here are a couple cottons I got at Lake Ramsey last summer…





…and a big diamondback water snake.



Those were all around the area at the entrance to the subdivision though, not at the WMA.

Yeah, "beautiful" is not the word I'd use. They're something alright, but beautiful? No. Almost no snakes can meet that description... especially cottonmouths.

I prefer the look of the dead ones myself.

They are beautiful in a diorama or hanging on the wall.

yeah, that's a beautiful pattern.

I almost stepped on a king snake this weekend and about crapped down both legs.

I deer hunt in the swamp in St. Charles Parish. In October, when we start getting things ready, those bastards are everywhere. We kill every single one.

King snakes or cotton mouths?

I don't kill kings and depending on where I am I won't kill any of them. I've had two Mocs in my yard, one about 3' from my garage door. Those are no longer I'm afraid..

cool snake.

i dont think they are beautiful though

not because its a snake, but as far as snakes go, cottonmouths arent exactly lookers.
