Which one is venomous?

- While it is highly unlikely for to get bitten by either one of these snakes unless handled, it's always a good idea to be able to identify venomous animals. Even if bitten by the cottonmouth the likely hood of death is extremely unlikely.

If you’re not sure how to tell watch our full video telling you how to easily identify the cottonmouth.
U know it's the right snake 🐍 😏
LOL the cottonmouth is closely checking out the watersnake like to say "Are you... ummm... a cottonmouth?"
Or like “ummm are you my snack” 😆. They do eat other snakes.
@@NatureInYourFace I rescued a very large watersnake in the '80s in Nashville, TN when it was about to crawl into traffic from the sidewalk. Had my friend stop the car, snatched the 5-6ft snake and my friend took off with the passenger door still open lol
@@keihan5 heck yea!! nice work, we do the same stuff all the time. Worth the risk
My Mama says that water moccasins are ornery because they got all them fangs and no toothbrush.
Well Mr. Boucher Mamas wrong again!
@@NatureInYourFace No Colonel Sanders, your wrong.... Mamas right 😂😂
😆 love it

@@NatureInYourFace you better be careful because captain insano shows no mercy! Lol
My dad had a Jack Russell terrier growing up on the farm, little twenty pound dog. The farm had lot of ponds around it, and some were utterly infested with water moccasins. Well, his dog got too near one of those moccasins, and got bit. My dad was heartbroken, thought he was gonna lose his dog, but the pup pulled through, survived to the next day, eventually fully recovered. And from that point on, that dog was the nemesis of every snake on that farm. You see, he'd gained immunity to the snake venom, so with their most potent weapon disarmed, they had no defense. He jumped into every pond after every snake, maybe get bit, but once he had his jaws on them, he'd shake his head as hard as he could and break every bone in that snakes body, and some of these snakes were big, five foot long water moccasins getting ragdolled by this twenty pound terrror of a terrier, broken bodies flying through the air. That dog killed off almost every snake on that farm, those ponds remained clear and safe until that dog passed.
That’s insane! Yea those small dogs were bred to hunt/kill small animals and with being immune it’s like a super power. Thanks for the story!
@@NatureInYourFace Np!
I had a JRT in California and he didn’t hesitate for a second when seeing a snake; if anything a quick, angry growl and boom he’d grab a snake and shake the hell out of it!
@@dogdaddy7262 I have seen videos of dogs grabbing and violently shaking snakes until they're dead. They shake them with such force that they are unable to strike and bite the dog. Crazy!
@@menghao737 Agreed the dog gained luck and probably got dry bites.
Easily the right. the Triangle shaped head, the vertical sharp pupils, the shorter thick body, the lack of jaw stripes. But the resemblance to the water snake is insane!
It really does resemble the watersnake but as you said, it's easy to tell the difference if you know your snakes. They look nothing alike to anyone who has experience with them. Obviously you have that experience, so well done.
The cottonmouth on the right must be a juvenile because of the bands because here in eastern Oklahoma they’re almost black when they are bigger/ older snakes
But if you look closely at the eye on the moccasin on the left it looks “ cat eyed” vertical pupil
@mr.j5kmbl383 it’s not a juvenile. Cottonmouth’s in Florida/Alabama tend to be a lot lighter in color compared to the ones in the rest of the US
the cottonmouth looks completely relaxed in this lol
Which one is the cottonmouth, L or R?
@@NatureInYourFace going R, ...my R not he snake's
@@Rimpala Nice, that is correct.
L= watersnake r =cotton mouth. Watersnakes have verticle bands across lower jaw.
Well done
That's what I looked for on the water snake, the vertical bands on the jaw.
@@NatureInYourFace how do they both look so similar?? 😰

@dirtysouthvol correct
@@NatureInYourFace I'm learning, I fly fish East Tennessee and see a lot of similar snakes to cotton mouth in the water. People say they are not in East Tennessee. I don't let any of them get too close.
@@dirtysouthvol We've encountered hundreds, possibly thousands of water moccasins and not one has ever struck at us. They will typically gape and show the white lining of the mouth but you'd have to really aggravate one to get it to bite. I would not worry about the ones you may encounter while fishing. The obvious rules are to not pick them up and do your best to avoid stepping on one accidentally. Those are really the only two ways that people get bit. Thanks again for commenting.
Don’t venomous snakes have diamond shaped heads? Well, I wouldn’t mess with either one trying to tell the difference.
If you’re not sure how to tell watch our video telling you how to easily identify them.
@@user-iw1sm8ey5t Great point. However, once you familiarize yourself with these species, you can tell immediately which is which, with ease. They look nothing alike to those who see these snakes often.
Water snakes have defused plates in their skull which allows them to actually flatten out their head in order to mimic the diamond shape of a pit viper head. It’s one of the things that makes it difficult for people to tell which is which.
What you should do is look at the eyes. Pit vipers including water moccasins have cat shaped eyes while Nerodiae have round pupils. You should also look for heat pits which look like an extra set of nostrils. Those are sensory organs pit vipers have in order to detect the heat given off by warm blooded animals. If it has heat pits then it’s 100% venomous (though not all venomous snakes have them, so don’t assume a snake is harmless just because it doesn’t have them. For example the most deadly snake in terms of venom in America is a coral snake which is a colubrid, not a pit viper. They don’t have heat pits but one bite from them will kill you if you don’t get quick treatment)
R is the moccasin because of the shape of its head, but I’ve heard that water snakes will try and flatten their heads when threatened to try and look more like moccasins.
Congrats, you won't be dying today! Many snakes will flatten their heads but it has nothing to do with trying to look like a cottonmouth. It just makes the head appear larger similar to a cobra but obviously not as big.

Beside the large venom glands one tell tale sign of the Cottonmouth is the black band on the side of its head.
The water snake on the left has stripes on his chin.
Correct. We made a whole video on telling them apart. You should see if there’s anything we forgot to add.
The best way to tell if it's a water moccasin for people that no nothing about them is in person it's going to be a short snake but big in size trust me that you don't want to be close enough to see it's spots and head shape

One on the right is the cottonmouth. They’re shorter in length but wider. They’re all muscle. Their heads are pretty wide too.
Great work!
Right is cottonmouth, also it's so calm, it sniffs snake on the left like a turtle
Nice work. Yea it was pretty chill
Dang, it's crazy how much they look alike. 😳 I help in snake education groups and I had to look twice. The snake on the right is the Agkistrodon sp. and the left is the Nerodia sp. 😁👍 Excellent comparison for sure, they look very similar.
For sure. Unfortunately that’s why so many Nerodia are killed after being identified as dangerous. That’s cool that you help in the groups. We are a part of several on fb but not admins.
@@NatureInYourFace It's definitely a shame that so many harmless snakes get killed. I was driving down the other side of a foothill of the Appalachians not far from where I live, years ago when my oldest son was 5 and we stopped because there was a snake sunning itself on a nice day right in the middle of our lane. I didn't know as much about snakes then, so I got a nice sized stick to move it off the road, I now know it wasn't venomous.
I had to wait for 3 vehicles to go by, the first 2 saw what I intended to do and went around the snake, but the 3rd was a good ole boy in a pickup. He smirked at me and deliberately hit it and killed it. I was so mad I was shaking, but I still moved it off the road so no crow or vulture would get killed trying to eat it.
Then I had to tell my son what happened, I will never understand how people can kill an innocent animal for the crime of being born and breathing the same air as we do.
I definitely try my best to educate others so they don't kill snakes. I haven't been on FB for awhile but I helped in a few herp groups, as a mod and just a passionate reptile enthusiast.
It's definitely a passion of mine. I've loved snakes since my grandma used to bring us kids snakes from her garden. I live near the Susquehanna River so we have toads and frogs and snapping turtles we help cross the road.
I even had a baby snapping turtle show up at my door one night in Sept as a brand new hatchling. Since he was obviously lost, I ended up taking him in and headstarting him until he was big enough to not be lunch for a raccoon or another critter. Then I released him back into the wild into a quieter channel next to the river, stocked full of things he could eat and close enough to the river. I have a short and crappy video on my channel of releasing him.
Hahaha he charged into the water and disappeared, never even looking back. I will grab the short & post it here if you want to see how crappy i am at videotaping. The turtle is cute anyhow. 😄👍🐢

Correct and we run after both lol
Neither can beat a 9mm.
In the South, any snake in or near water is a Moccasin until proven innocent, although the water snake is far more aggressive than the viper, and their similarities has given the more dangerous snake an undue reputation for cruelty.
@timothygore5772 very true unfortunately
@@timothygore5772 neither bite humans unless stepped on or ran into in water or tried to capture it. I've never known anyone to be injured by the Pit-Viper-Moccasin, never ever, likewise no knowedlege of a water snake biting anyone. Highly unlikely

Cottonmouth/water moccasin-Right
(Eye strip,diamond head
You are correct 👍🏻
First it almost look like they were both moccasins but I think the one on the right is a water moccasin because I catch water snakes.
Good work, you’re correct
There’s a water snake where I work and he’s actually chill. He’s probably gotten used to us and knows we don’t wanna hurt him
That's awesome! Glad to hear that no one wants to harm the snake. They do become conditioned to humans. We cruise this bike trail and pass water snakes near the side of the path and they typically don't move unless you jump off the bike and approach them. They've become used to the bike traffic so they just sit there. Thanks for commenting.
Left = non venomous
Right = venomous
You are correct. Nice work
That water snake is breathing heavy, he knows water moccasins will eat anything they can swallow.
They are known snake eaters, but the water snakes probably more afraid of the large humans in front of it
The one on the right is the Cottonmouth. But I have to hand it to you, that is the closest look alike to a Cottonmouth I have ever seen on the left.
You know your snakes! Unfortunately, most people have no ability to accurately identify any snake species and therefore kill every snake they encounter. It's as if all snakes are cottonmouths and need to be eliminated. The truth is, it's possible to learn to live among venomous snakes but that'll never happen! Thanks for commenting.
R is deadly...
The one on the RIGHT is a Cotton Mouth I’m from Down South AR & now MO they are everywhere. I can call out SEVERAL REASONS why the snake on the RIGHT will kill you.
1:) It’s got the venomous pockets behind its eyes, also the heat seeking pockets above its eyes.
2:) The black line connects all the way to the eye the other snakes DOES NOT.
3:) The more blunt snout (meaning it’s in the pit viper family)
4:) The snake on the RIGHT has the SLITS inside the eyes the water snake to the left has ROUND PUPILS.
5:) The Cotton Mouth on the RIGHT is a fatter & shorter bodied snake the one on the LEFT is thinner & longer.
Well done. You know your stuff!
@@NatureInYourFace thank you! I’ve been getting into survival & primitive living for a long time now. In case the world goes to shit I need to know my stuff lol. Plus, it’s just so interesting. But thank you, I see you know your stuff too.

Right deadly. They do look remarkably similar. The water snake is even flattening its head out here to make it even more difficult. Water snake head still smaller and eyes bigger. Less triangular head.
Good job on the ID. 👍🏻
LEFT WATERSNAKE
RIGHT MOCCASIN

Venomous snakes tend to boast a triangular head, where as non-venomous boast a more diamond shape. The more you know.
Pit vipers are the triangular wide heads you are referring to. However, there are also wide head snakes that aren’t venomous as they have large jaw muscles. But there are a lot of highly venomous diamond or narrow headed snakes that don’t have the same build features as pit vipers that are extremely dangerous, like the black and green mamba’s, or the inland taipan. I grew up with my parents telling me venomous snakes were wide headed and narrow heads were not. Until I got into reptiles. Probably best for any individual to admire wild snakes from a safe distance unless well educated on species and very experienced.
@@rmbomb54 Well said. I was about to reply to that comment to say that it was inaccurate and not a reliable method for identifying a venomous snake.

I like how they’re just chill with each other
Yea they were pretty relaxed at that point.
Vertical labial stripes on left = that's the water snake. There's other stuff, but I'd never let one get close enough to check if it has vertical pupils or heat pits in front of its eyes lol
You are correct. Nice investigative work 🔎 Good job.
The one on the right appears to be looking for a snake snak😂
Well cottonmouths do prey on other snakes, so you're onto something!
R because of the mask by the eye.
💯
Right for the cotton mouth body shape Is the easiest to tell when looking at this similarities.
Nice work 👍🏻
I really hope the 💧🐍 doesn’t get bitten.
It didn’t. Both snakes were released unharmed where they were found
Cottonmouth is the one with the diamond head shape, mostly… venomous snakes have a diamond head shape
In the US this is mostly accurate. Outside of the states not so much.
Raymond Ditmars (1912) described A. piscivorus as carnivorous.[45] Its diet includes mammals, birds, amphibians, fish, eggs, insects,[46] other snakes, small turtles, and small alligators. Cannibalism has also been reported. Normally, though, the bulk of its diet consists of fish and frogs.
*Im scared for that other noodle!*
For sure on the diet and we are fully versed in the knowledge of both snakes. We made sure to keep them safe and were released separately and unharmed. Thanks for the comment!
@@NatureInYourFace Thanks for the reply. I was only really saying this in jest, no worries! :)

I'm from Canada so it's the water snake on the left. We have those, never seen the snake on the right before.
Well done 👍🏻.
Just look for the heat sensing pits in between the eye and the nostril
That is one way to tell. Check out our full video on how to easily tell them apart.
On the right. The looking for action. The one on the left just wants to go home!
Hah correct ✅
Poor water snake is absolutely terrified. He's breathing super heavy.
Both snakes were nervous but not definitely not terrified. If so they wouldn’t be sitting still.
The left is a watersnake, and the right is a water moccasin. I can tell because of the head shape.
The snake on the right has a head that is notably wider than its body. The snake on the left, however, has a somewhat ovular head.
Nice work! 👏
R is the moccasin. There's a less than 1% of anyone choosing wrong that they go home in a body bag, though. A surprisingly low amount of people die from snake bites each year.
We were being sarcastic for added drama with the cottonmouth, but several species of large rattlesnakes do claim a decent amount of lives in the US.

Depends on what you mean by deadly. Because the one on the left will eat the one on the right. But the one on the right would send you on an ambulance ride.

@@MrTrecutter1 With the exception of the coral snake, all venomous snakes in N.C. are vipers and have the classic triangular or diamond 💎 shaped head.

True. Good job on the ID
This is pretty definitively answered, I think there is nothing much to add. It's 100% that the water snake is both flattening its head to look more dangerous as well as praying the Moc isn't gonna take its frustration out on it. That said, the moc is pretty calm, just curious.
Both snakes were handled with care to keep stress to a minimum. Then they were released safely back to where they were found. The water snake definitely flattens its head out to appear threatening but it was more afraid of us than the cottonmouth.
@NatureInYourFace
That's valid. As much as I dislike nope ropes from a bad experiences when younger, they tend to take the same attitude I do. You stay over there. I stay over here, and we leave each other alone. They are very commonly more afraid of us than the other way around.
I had been way too afraid of snakes ever since I got bit by a ball python. so if I see a snake in the water, venomous or not, nope! gonna stay far away from that body of water!
Time to conquer that fear and not let it control you anymore. Life’s too short to live in fear. So, which one is the cottonmouth?
Plus you can see the heat seeking pit on the cottonmouth at the tip of its head and the cat eyes or vertical pupils
Correct 👍🏻

Florida man here. The one on the right is the water mocassin. Left water snake. The shape of the head gives it away. Last weekend i went riding and came across one on pit lane. I did what every other person on a raptor 700 would do, sprayed him with rocks doing doughnuts by him to get him back to the woods. I was gonna just grab him but thought naw not my day to shake hands with death.
I just left my hometown of Jacksonville in Florida. Found a huge 4’ cottonmouth and just used my snake hook to gently move it off the road. Maybe you should just get a snake hook and then you’ll be the snake removal guy. 😃-JEREMY
@NatureInYourFace extra long handle grabber stick. You can get those 'gopher grabber' things and extend the handle to about 5 or 6 ft. just enough to be out of the striking range for most of them. Just keep a couple of those around one in the truck and one inside the house. I made my grabbers and use them for snakes all the time. I do that drive through everglades snake hunt every once in awhile it's free money laying on the ground why not?
@AxleRods heck yea
L-watersnake R-cottonmouth
You can tell by the shape of the head and the pupils of their eyes
Nicely done ☑️
L=watersnake r=cotten man got a more triangle head

I just saw for the first time a watersnake coiled up under a bush next to my duck pan and rabbit pan. Was coiled and a faint rattle. They fake it real nice as vipers snakes. I didn't see the head but the body was more reddish and the stripes were vertical, not like hershey kiss chocolate. I always go there with my shepsky dog that goes in front of me. He inspects and warns me of danger (many times).
Sounds like a typical water snake. Probably just looking for food.
I can tell automatically, head color, he is the only one that has the streak under his eye and his head has sharper edges like a super triangle. Also the mocassin has a less attention grabbing eye than the watersnake
Sounds like you know which one it is but didn’t say left or right 😉
@@NatureInYourFace I did earlier but I guess I forgot when I edited it....mb

Right watersnake left water moccasin
You don't know it
I avoid all snakes in the wild.
Snakes try to avoid humans as well
The cotton mouth has the mask on his eyes and the water snake does not and also has the pretty bottom jaw line, light in color with the vertical lines. That’s the easiest to spot quickly for me. There are some other ways but in this short clip that’s what I see right off the bat.
