  • Braving Cottonmouth Water Moccasins, high water, mosquitoes, deer flies and the heat to bring you some great animal videos. We got got some Great Footage from the trail Cameras this summer. It's the rainy season and the water is getting high and making it hard to get to the good areas, but it's also pushing the animals out of the deep swamps. There are going to be more great locations and animals to come from other places in Florida. Please comment, share and like the video if you would like to see more videos like this.

They are absolutely NOT aggressive and don't "chase" people...unless you are messing with them. People like you that say that they chase people are spreading horses**t. I've been herping for 41+ years and have never been chased or "attacked" by a snake, Cottonmouths and Copperheads included, unless I instigated the encounter. 95% of the time, snakes haul ass or freeze, letting their camouflage work. Stop spreading horses**t lies. Please.

      Until you mess with it and then it'll flatten its head and body out to make itself look bigger. That's what gets these completely harmless snakes killed by dodos like this guy that has no idea about what he is talking about. A snake in or near the water has to be a cottonmouth.

Camp there and in the quiet of 2 A.M. , wake to the sound of that Armadillo walking threw the woods. You would swear it's a giant Bigfoot. Even more fun would be having two of them bulldozing their way threw the undergrowth. lol

You people worry about the wrong critters. A snake won't mess with you unless you are intentionally frakking with it or you aren't paying attention to where you are putting your feet and hands. 99% of the time, it's the person's own fault for getting bit.
