I have several photos of this snake and have shown them to many Florida natives who all say it is a Water Moccasin (cottonmouth). Bought the CYV with extra lawn space on a corner lot specifically so our 2 dogs could go in and out of the dog door and have more freedom. No way I feel comfortable letting them do that ever again. We could have saved a good bit of money if we knew we would be walking them several times per day. In any event, I have dusted off my shotgun in case he comes back.
I would think the Neighbors would rather hear a loud bang than know there is a Water Mocassin roaming the neighborhood.
