These cottonmouths (AKA water moccasins) were photographed right here in The Villages. Scroll down to see all 15 photos. While these snakes are venomous, all they want is to be left alone.

Hmmmmmm..But being harassed by a photographer is OK??????

how do you know what they want? If I had to guess, I would guess what they want is food. Something, or someone, to attack and swallow. That is what predators usually do.

Cottonmouth
 
I'm guessing you used 300mm lens or longer, right?

Sam did respond: "300. But the closest Pic you see of the Cottonmouth, I was 5 feet away and on level ground."

Sam's reply: "My camera does not have a GPS (some do). But I can promise you all were taken within The Villages within the last 8 months."🙂

9mm snake shot would be a wise choice
