Rhonda said it took off as soon as she got close. I googled about this snake and finally understood something that happened to me years ago. A friend and I (Van Harrelson) were canoeing on the Strong River. We stopped to swim a little while and noticed a snake coming straight towards us. We kept assuming it would go the other way when it realized it was close to us, but it never veered. We had to get out of the water! We didn’t kill it.

They are really nasty snakes with a bad attitude. When disturbed, will flatten out to look as mean as possible, not poisonous though. Cottonmouths will have a dark band or stripe around its eyes, plus the distinctive cateye pupils. They will readily display thier cotton white mouth when cornered.
