eastern cottonmouth snake, Agkistrodon piscivorus
Eastern cottonmouth snake, Agkistrodon p. piscivorus, as it was coiled atop a ground cover of pine needles. Startled, this snake had taken on a defensive posture, bearing its fangs in a very aggressive manner. The eastern cottonmouth inhabits the southeastern quadrant of the United States, extending from the Great Dismal Swamp in extreme southeastern Virginia, southward along the Atlantic Coast to the level of central Georgia, and westward through Alabama into the northeastern corner of Mississippi.
