first shot is great! nice spotting!
Adjusted species name ( thank you jansonjones) and added a couple more pics, as I have no shortage of cottonmouth photos! Although, Im still looking to capture an excellent head shot, eyes facing the camera :)
I agree! Our western cottonmouth is so bland when compared with this one.
