If there’s a poisonous animal in your yard, you have the right to get it out. It’s even worse if you have pets or small children. These people that are defending the snake, why don’t you give them your address and let them drop the animals off in your backyard?
Snakes are not poisonous but instead venomous , having a right vs having compassion for any animal that's only surviving just like we are is probably more in line with what we humans are thinking. We are the worst animals my man.
Wrong dumb ass, go back to school. It has to do with the method of delivery moron, don't challenge people with bad information on subjects that you know nothing about.
You make an incorrect statement and instead of accepting it you just keep on acting like a bitch and arguing, some people have a thing called situational awareness and its a thing of the past with the duh linneals of today. I live where I live because I accept the environment and my kids never got killed by a snake, sociopath because you don't know what your talking about , I can never run into brainiacs like you out in public ,lol. Go back to school son and drop the drama queen shit.
No it's right there being misidentified by all you amateur RUclips herpetologist.. That is a water moccasin. A cottonmouth.. even if you miss the facial stripe. The build and the markings. THERES ALWAYS THE DAMN FANG SHEATHS RIGHT THERE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE..
I’ve found that shotguns make much better snake catchers than sticks and dip nets. You keep catching ‘em, I’ll keep shootin’ em. Time for a beer. Cheers😄
Caption Change/Correction: "Catching an average Water Moccasin." The accepted record for a Cottonmouth is 74 inches (6'2"). This one, at 42" (3'6") is just about average for a mature Cottonmouth. I will leave the debate between whether it's a Cottonmouth or a water snake to everyone else. Without better pictures of the head and eyes, I refuse to debate. As far as whether the Cottonmouth is deadly, all venomous snakes can be deadly under the right circumstances. About whether they are aggressive or not can also be debated. All I know is, at 71 yrs. on this Earth, I personally know of 7 people that have been bitten by venomous snakes. 6 were bitten by Copperheads and one was bitten by a Pygmy Rattlesnake. That is what I have experienced living the majority of my life in South Arkansas and spent a lot of time hunting and fishing in the swampy river bottoms. my personal opinion is that Copperheads, although definitely smaller than the Cottonmouth, is the more aggressive of the two.
@@savagelifevlogsandexplorat5261 Why is it that EVERY website that describes various venomous snakes in North America refer to the only venomous water snake in North America is theCottonmouth/Water Moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorus). Even the CDC refers to the two names as being the same snake. Maybe you need to contact the CDC and show them the error of their ways.
I was sitting in our kitchen when my younger brother came in the side door announcing that there was a rattlesnake climbing onto the porch. Well it wasn't a rattlesnake but a copperhead and he had walked within a few inches of it. Mom went out the opposite door, circled around the kitchen and shot it. It was over 6 feet long. She stretched it out beside the fuel tank. There was a theory that the mate would join with the dead. It didn't happen. We then went to town for grocery shopping. About a month or so later, the fuel delivery man came to the house. Apparently he had arrived at the house shortly after we had gone grocery shopping. He said that he had tripped over the copperhead and ran around looking for a club to kill it. He added that it was 3 days before he managed to have a bowel movement.
I was waiting for one of them to say, " Hey Y'all......Hold my Beer and Watch This!!" 🤣🤣 Personally.... I would've just started the Wood Pile on Fire, and waited with the Shotgun!! 😁
Your firewood pile is a natural place for animals. But no living thing likes MOTHBALLS. Leave the little "benzene-bombs" under and around the wood pile, and avoid the problem entirely.
Animals in general don't like. Limestone. If you build a building up in the air on blocks its best to put in a good thick layer of limestone first. It deters all kinds of critters including snakes
The fact that in the comments some people say it is a cottonmouth and some people say it isn't... kinda worries me someone out there might catch a venomous snake thinking is not and get bit.
I do not know if this is indeed a Moccasin, but being from the Gulf Coast of Alabama, I do know you don't play with those snakes. They can ruin or take your life too quickly.
Definately a moccasin. Lived around those for years in Louisiana, Florida and south Georgia. Very aggressive snake and one that size is deadly. Only snake I will go out of my way to kill is a moccasin. FYI.. they come in different skin colors too, some are more brown like a rattle snake and others blackish like this one.
Sorry to correct you, but it won't necessarily kill you, it'll make you incredibly ill, granted, but water moccasin bites generally aren't fatal to healthy adults.... On another note, that was indeed a large one! 😊
Wonderful! Where are you located? Missouri? Texas? I've just been reading "Lonesome Dove" and this reminds me of when they're crossing their first river (the Brazo?) and one of the Irishmen accidentally disrupts a nest of water moccasins. Dangerouse snakes, those!
Y'all are just afraid because they can harm you and they can strike really fast. I've caught snakes my entire life of 56 years and I just exercise good caution and have never been bitten. Most snakes just wanna be left alone so they try to crawl away. Its only one in a blue moon that you get one in the USA that is just a crabby animal. As with all mother critters their personalities can vary. A smaller snake tends to perceive everything bigger than it as a the at that wants it for supper so they put up a front to scare off bigger predators. Many will rattle their tails in the leaves and act like a rattler just to scare you off or warn you not to mess with them. I have never been bitten by any snake and I've handled them over 56 years. I HAVE been stung by a scorpion once...very small one. Thought I was gonna die for four solid days. Had heart palpitations for weeks afterwards from it too. Doctor had to up.my heart meds and I've been on them ever since. The bite can make you inconscious, delusional, have an extremely high fever, mess up your heart rhythm, cause strokes and heart attacks if your heart isn't strong enough to take it, and some can cause paralysis both temporary and permanent. I suffered from a very high fever, cold sweats in 100 degree temps, blurry vision for 6 days, near unconsciousness, heart palpitations, and numbness in my extremities for about 3 and 1/2 days. Was nauseas, dizzy, at times I thought I was seeing people I used to know who have been dead for several years, had extremely loud ringing in my ears, and everything tastes like a potato cake made out of camp fire ashes! And I don't think I even listed all the symptoms you can have from their sting but the ones I listed can occur from many different types if you even survive. Some will just plain kill you so I was extremely fortunate. Also...in your case the age and size of the snake had nothing to do with why you survived the bite. All venomous snakes are born with enough venom to kill a human...not including ones like Hignosed snakes and Sonora Lyre Snakes. They have a very very mild venom that feels more like a mild bee sting and is not deadly to humans. However, all other venomous snakes in the USA can kill you from birth with a single bite so the reasons you lived to tell about it would include the snake just ate and uses its venom on its meal, it chose not to inject you but to warn you,...which believe it or not is a lot more common than just being in cobras...or it but am potential meal earlier and its venom hadn't built up enough yet to kill you. It has to have time to replenish its venom after a meal. The venom is used to break down the meat and bones and acids inside its meal. The venom is actually a lot more like a very very potent stomach acid. Some Rattle snakes have a rule type toxin...a cytotoxic and a neurotoxin combined that eats and kills your flesh and attacks your heart and central nervous system at the same time. Enter the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake.
Sam Bolton - water moccasins, aka cotton mouths, aka agkistrodon piscivorus is a species of pit viper, and is most definitely poisonous. At minute 1:49 you can see the diamond shaped head, created by the venom glands. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agkistrodon_piscivorus
Drew Minatti so I’m supposed to relocate a pit viper, and risk either being bitten or having to pay a service to come out and do it? And then once the snake is removed, what good does your rodent control argument do around my house? Not a damn thing. So, my options are to leave it alone and risk being bitten later, move it myself and risk being bitten now, pay someone else to come remove it, or shoot it. All result in no snake being around for rodents. Its the fake intelligent guy argument to suggest removing a pit viper instead of shooting it.
Drew Minatti it stops eating the rodents that effect my property/home. They looked like they were out in a more rural area to me, but if not, then a pellet gun would suffice. Out of curiosity, if you found a massive hornets nest in your log pile, would you pay someone $100 to relocate the hornets? What about a black widow or brown recluse in your pantry? A mound of fire ants? Would you relocate all of those as well, or pull out some bug spray?
Just LEAVE IT ALONE! if you had made the pallet higher, a snake would not be apt to hide under the wood pile. PREVENT bites by being smart! Most snakes will just go away if threatened,, they will find a safer place to hunt. Don't let a place be attractive to mice or rats because that is what they are after, small rodents!
For those wondering about whether or not it is in fact a water moccasin or not. It is. The pattern of scales on top of the head visible at 1:44 is a trait of some pit vipers like the Agkistrodon snakes (Cottonmouth and Copperheads) and some others.
G. You sissies acted like it was a Bothrops Anthrops (pogo sticks with venom). It won't launch at you like that snake will. Lol. Moccasins are vipers on quaaludes.
Thats not a Cottonmouth, that's a water snake. They flatten their heads out. You can especially tell on the shot where it's mouth is open. Wrong color and no hinged fangs. It's called a Cottonmouth because it has an almost pure as snow white mouth, this one is pink.
No, this is a cotton mouth. On water snakes the eyes are visible from the top. On a cottonmouth there is a scale over the eyes like there is with this snake. The color and faint pattern are also correct. Definitely a cotton mouth.
It sounded more like a shart. Definitely some moisture with that one and I don’t blame the person who let it loose. I probably would have done the same trying to catch a water moccasin that size alive 😳🤣
Compared to the huge cottonmouths or water moccasins as most of us call em here in Arkansas that one is tiny. My friend Josh Killed the state record Cottonmouth by the l'Anguille river and it was 5 foot 3 inches!
Our son was bit in the toes last month by a young Cotton Mouth aka water moccasin, it could have been really bad but he was airlifted right away to the hospital. I have a video on my channel but it doesn't show the snake, just what happened at the hospital and his crazy looking foot!

Is that what happened in your case? People that marry close relatives, end up producing snake-loving misfits
Pretty critter! One of my favorite and most misunderstood snakes.
Just what you want in your pile of firewood when you go out to get some wood.
This is what we call a Blunt tailed moccasin---lives mostly on dry land around woodpiles,barns,etc.
Copper tailed water Rattlers do too. I'm sure😂
I caught a water moccasin once, and it wasn't that hard.....right after I shot with a 12 gauge...
Did you wear the same kind of boots as these guys. They are for screwing farm animals.
When he picks up the container, the little kid called him a idiot! LMAO 😂😂😂😂

Big snake! And it tried to strike in the bin... (did the cameraman cut the cheese?)
that's a cool video. I'm pretty sure the 12 gauge would have come out if it were me though
Stephen Lavoie ~ Same here. So after they caught it what did they do with it? Let it go somewhere? I wouldn't doubt it a bit.

bit by one 13 years ago i didnt die as you can tell but it hurt so damn bad i wished i was dead at that moment

No, this is a cotton mouth. On water snakes the eyes are visible from the top. On a cottonmouth there is a scale over the eyes like there is with this snake. The color and faint pattern are also correct. Definitely a cotton mouth.
Selous Scout Rhodesians the mouth color can vary. It’s important to not rely on just one trait to identify a snake.
they should not have a mouthy kid talking and running a camera. The snake's bite can kill a person.
I can only hope.

Same way I have caught rattlers around my house. They were not aggressive but I worried for my dogs.
Everyone of them I caught seemed to loose their head(s).
