Second Donnelley Cottonmouth last spring (2012)

Another small water moccasin crossing a road between swamps April 28, 2012, close to the one below which was seen a few weeks earlier on April 2. This one was employing the typical defensive posture, displaying a wide open mouth - the origin of the common name "cottonmouth" for this snake. The folded fangs were visible also.
