"No snake has ever bitten in offense." Bullshit, lie! I have seen a 4 foot Timber Rattler chase after a German Shepherd that was running away after already being bit once. Also did this guy claim that dry bites don't happen or that juvenile snakes are capable of administering a dry bite? I'm not sure what he is using as a reference to say that, but I worked in an ER in a rural area and have seen evidence that dry bites exist.

The film dismissed they pygmy's venom. It's very nasty, very toxic, and rots the flesh. If they were as large as a diamond back, they would be far more dangerous. Cottonmouths also have a nasty venom similar to the pygmy's. A bite on the foot or ankle can make you gimpy for life.

Kamp kenan I am a 60 year old man from Eastern NC. As a young child my Grandfather would take me fishing in his creek boat that he kept chained to a tree at the landing not far from his farm. The good old days when nobody would damage your boat left alone. One time my Dad and Grandfather took me fishing and my dad saw a water moccasin laying on a branch sticking out over the water. As we got near it the creek was narrow enough you had to go under the branch so my Dad took the boat paddle and slapped the snake out of the limb into the water. Now I'm hear to tell you this is no old folk lore tale! That cottonmouth was pissed and he had a right to be! If it was 3 feet long he had a little over a foot of his body up out of the water swimming straight back to our small creek boat with mouth wide open. I was around 3-4 yrs old and I started to jump out the boat on the other side. My Grandfather got me by the arm and told me not to get out of the boat. As the snake got to the boat his head was high enough out of the water that it just came over the side of the boat. My Dad hit him on top of the head with the paddle when it did that killing it. Back then people also had the bad assumption that the only good snake was a dead one. But I have never forgotten the video in my mind of that badass snake coming across the water at us intent on getting in that boat and fighting back! I have always giving a wide berth to the cottonmouth since. My Dad and I were laughing about this just a couple of weeks ago. He remembers it well also. For me the easiest way to identify the Copperhead is by looking at the color bands. A copperhead's bands are narrow at the middle of his back. The imposters have wide color bands in the middle of his back and narrow on the side. I also noticed that you respected the Cottonmouth by not putting him down and loose in that narrow area you were at. You know he is meaner than the other's!! edited to add I paused the video to comment thinking the video was over. after commenting I saw that you did put the cottonmouth down. Looks like the cameraman may have spooked him. Glad the guy didn't get bit. Also the snake was not upset. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

In the wild, missing a meal is life or death. They will often try to get to an escape point and if that point is behind you, they will move past you, and this is what gets mistaken for “chasing.” They are trying to defend themselves and preserve their lives the best they can, which is not aggressive; it is literally their natural instinct as wild animals.

For me and my extremely close up encounters with water moccasins, I have not found them to be aggressive at all, exactly the opposite. Especially my first time when one showed up on my porch. I yelled at my granddaughter to close the doors while I was outside so that it didn't get in the house. The snake totally ignored me and went after the toad then in my backyard and then in my pool and then I rescued it and put it back in the pond. Of course, I had almost no rodents...LOL

If you look, the cottonmouth was attempting to reach a point of safety, splitting between the two presenters. It's not uncommon that a cottonmouth's point of safety is close to a person, which gives the impression that the snake is going toward the person(s). This is a perfect illustration of a cottonmouth's method of escaping, and how they can may attempt to escape close to a human. If there was no cameraman, it would have likely escaped in the opposite direction.

Okay, I'm going to call bullshit. This kind of pisses me off when so-called experts outright dismiss real life experiences of people. I have lived in Florida in rural swampy areas all my life. For the first 20 years of my life I lived in a small fishing town nestled between 2 rivers in north Florida that dumped into the Gulf of Mexico. That is the City of St. Marks between the Wakulla and St. Marks rivers. I know I called it a town, but if you knew the place you'd know why it's so difficult to call it a city. After that I moved from there I lived between two lakes in the same county. My first real job was land surveying in that same kind of area. That took me right into the heart of swamps, pine forests, salt marshes and everywhere else you'll find snakes. I did this every single day for 22 years excluding Sundays and some Saturdays. Usually 50-60 hours a week. Needless to say I have decades of direct, almost daily, experience with the snakes of North Florida. I can tell you from that experience moccasins WILL chase you. It's extremely rare, but it happens. Almost always a moccasin does like any other snake. It either tries to warn you in some way or it slithers away as quickly as it can; but occasionally you'll find one that, for whatever reason, will dart directly to you. It's happened to me multiple times. They don't chase you far, but the fact that they will follow you around trees proves it's deliberate. If it is of any value, all of the snakes that chased me were still young, but not newborns. You could still see the patterns but they were definitely fading. It was always late spring when it happened. You mentioned that bites are defensive. That's absolutely true. But have you considered that maybe the chasing is also a defensive move? It's not unusual to see aggressive behaviors resulting from the fight or flight response. We've even seen this behavior in other snakes like certain cobras. It seems you're projecting a primate motivation for aggressive behavior onto snakes. It could also be that chasing is a sort of territorial response when a snake is staking out it's hunting grounds for the first time. That might explain why they seem to always be young snakes and why it is so rare. When they're newborn they kind of stick together. It's not unusual to see a dozen or so newborns under my boat when I push it out into the water. However when they get a bit older they spread out more. Or maybe it's because of breeding season. That would explain the timing and the age since younger snakes haven't worked out who's a rival for mates and who is just a general threat. We always hear experts dismiss things like this. Usually it's about the size of certain animals. First Eastern Diamondbacks only got the 5 feet and stories of bigger snakes were dismissed by experts. The record is now 8 feet. The record catfish was only about 60lbs or so and only about 4 feet long. Stories about catfish large enough to swallow a grown man were laughed off. Now we know they can get nearly 10 foot long and weigh over 400lbs. Coincidentally, that is large enough to swallow a grown man. Why is it so hard to believe that behaviors exist beyond what some PhD passed along to you in college?

Also a diamond back which I really heard more than saw. Oh...and plenty of gators. The only time I came to grief was not watching where I was standing and realised in a painful manner that I was near a fire ants nest, luckily there were few about and I only got stung twice on one ankle but it burned for ages afterwards and produced two nice fat blisters.

I spent a month in Florida, around the Palm Beach area, and never saw any of the dangerous wildlife! Not a single alligator, not one of the 6 snakes viewed here, none of the spiders, fire ants, and no lavender flags at the beach, where I was told people have observed many dangerous sharks, barracuda, whales, dolphins, orca, and a wide range of other oceanic creatures that can be deadly to humans. It was a very pleasant month vacation, and I will definitely repeat it in my retirement!

when living in sw Florida I had a 4ft Diamondback aggressively follow me for like 20 feet, If nothing else wild creatures can be very unpredictable. "Experts" always give advise on animals character traits but seldom mention about unpredictability . I remember the Bull shark expert who lost part of his leg to a bull shark, while walking in shallow water with them, He forgot how unpredictable predators can be.

I turn 75 in Feb. On my 5th birthday, I cut through my grandpa's garden, a little barefoot girl hurry to her party. Grandpa had a snake that slept in an old baby carriage in the barn, said he had never been able to catch it, we knew to leave it alone. His length was longer than I was tall, probably 3-4 feet. I didn't see him, I stepped on his head, he got the side of my foot next to my big toe. They said I screamed and time they got me to the house, I was in a coma. Took two days for the doctor to get out to the farm, the second day I was vomiting. Of course I don't remember any shots, just them wrapping me in wet cloths because I was so hot and I had psychedelic visions of psychedelic green swirls or dreams I guess you would call them. I can see them still sometimes when I close my eyes.I still have severe vertigo. The old country doc was wrong, I am still alive. I read recently stupid people us snake bites in other countries to get high. They are crazy. That snake bite has caused problems for me in receiving medications. I wonder if they have done any research on kidney/cancer/RA. These are some of the medications I have had unexplained reactions to. Grandpa said his snake should never have poisoned me that it was a South Carolina Black King Snake. We never know how we could react to any type of snake bite, keep shoes oh (LOL) and watch where your kids play.

Pygmy rattlesnakes DO kill dogs. They live in the sand dunes in Anastasia State Park (St Augustine, FL) They feed off mice there. People (and unleased dogs) are not supposed to be in the dunes but people never listen. When I lived there, the local animal ER saw average of a dog a week that have been bitten. They received antivenin which is expensive, and no guarantee the dog will live. Please don’t let your dogs loose in this area.

I went down to Florida to purposefully herp hunt for some of these beauties lol. I was only there for 5 days though so the only things I came across was a beautiful black racer (over 3 ft, maybe even 4) and a red bellied water snake. Lots of little frogs and interesting insects too, but that's not my forte. And of course, all types of anoles - I love those little guys. I wish I was a bit more south - I was in central FL, in pine fall wooded areas with a few swamps here and there. No wild gator sightings, probably because it was too hot out and they were all staying under. The big black racer was really the high point of the herping. It's not easy to come across them that size a lot of the time - at least in my experience. Rule #1 though, I never touch them. I'm not a professional and if I'm wrong about the type of snake it is, I could be in big trouble.

I'll tell you about my own, personal experience with a cottonmouth, because it's no 'old wives tale'. When I was 10 years old and fishing with my family here in Texas, I stood 3 or 4 feet from the lakeshore with a crappie rig set out. On my right, many feet away from the shore I saw a large snake swimming past, but it suddenly stopped in the water and turned to look at me. I absolutely froze in place and became paralyzed with fear. I couldn't even call out to my dad who was further down the sandbar. That snake floated in place, then came towards me onto the shore and went right at me. I heard my dad and aunt scream that there was a big snake after me, and next thing I knew I was being jerked back and away, while my dad beat the snake to death. I'm sorry for the snake dying, but it really was attacking me. Don't be so very quick to dismiss old stories, thinking that you know so much better. This is a good example of what used to be called 'indigenous wisdom' that all ancient people passed on to keep their tribes safe from harm. Modern folks almost always think they are the know all, end all of natural wisdom, but what we get from our elders who've lived through it is more than invaluable, it's a treasure.

I'm 60 yrs. old now but when I was about 11 or 12 yrs. old the same thing happened to me when I was living in Corpus Christi Tx. I was in a large ditch with about 4" of water in it and my friend that was on the bank started yelling it me. I looked to my side and about 10 feet away I could see a large cottonmouth coming at me in the water. I ran up the bank and the snake only came up the bank about a foot and stopped looking at me with it's big white mouth open and hissing at me. I remember the late Steve Irwin (the crocodile hunter) also saying that cottonmouth will not come after you. I knew he was wrong on that one.

I used to run on the woods trails in Panhandle Florida. I saw a total of maybe 5-7 pigmy rattlers, twice running right over them in the trail before seeing them. None of those times did the pigmy uncurl itself - meaning they were always pretty placid and never aggressive. It's a shock to see that distinctive pattern (especially if you didn't see it at first), but I always liked these snakes. Those same trails a biker friend of mine had a cottonmouth - who was heading off into the brush - double back and strike at him, luckily only hitting the bike frame.

Seeing a dew somewhat recent responses, I'm adding 1 more. I agree with many here, the "cottonmouth" has proven VERY aggressive anytime I've encountered them. I also grew up in S. Florida, in the Everglades in my case and I was outside as kids were back then. Everyone I knew would either get away quickly or kill them, but it seems now, they do not always inject venom when they bite, unlike rattlers. Corals are quite dangerous, but usually docile. Just remember, they are NOT a king snake, but unless you know what you're dealing with, leave them alone! That goes for everyone and all snakes as far as I'm concerned.

I've been living in Central Florida for 5 years now, but I have yet to see a venomous snake. The most common snake I see is the Black Racer. Also see Garter snakes from time to time. And the neatest is the occasional ring-neck snake which is the size of a worm.

Diomedes01 Actually, you have seen at least two venomous snakes by your own recollection. Both garter snakes and the ring neck snakes are venomous. Garter snake venom causes typically only causes redness and itchiness in humans. Ring neck snakes don't use their bite defensively, instead only bite prey they intend to swallow. I find it fascinating that although ring neck snakes are rarely encountered by people, their density is usually somewhere upwards of 300 per acre across their range....i.e. all over the southeastern US.

Ben Griffin Wrong! No fangs & no venom glands means not venomous, even if the saliva is irritating to a wound.

10 years ago a Pygmy Rattlesnake bit one of my dogs a 75lb Boxer on her snout in Indian River campground thankfully A couple of locals caught the snake and helped us get the dog to a local vet quick action and anti venom. Flown. From Miami saved her and the vet Took care of the snake For us the dog made a full recovery in a couple of days ! Another quick reaction was we made the dog swallow Benadryl immediately after the bite and the vet thought that may have helped her untill we got her to the hospital ? I did live in Coral Springs For a short while and was cleaning up a overgrown junked up yard Whe I flipped a piece of plywood over A multi colored snake was coiled under it I gave it my distance and it Went into the next door yard I never saw it again And i did not pt the plywood in the same spot although there were plenty of sheds and other places for it to hide My immediate thought was Coral Snake ? But I’m no really sure of that being true or not I used to be afraid of wild snakes before ive learned more about them now i more respect them instead of fear

I agree! It is far less cowardly to put two 00 shells into it anywhere you hit it. In your mowed yard of course, never in the woods.

I was bitten by a cotton mouth when I was about 11, that was over 55 years ago in south-central Florida. I nearly lost my life then. It latched onto my hand and wouldn't let go. If you are cane pole fishing, be careful where you put your hands when you sit.

I have to disagree.....water mocs will chase you...they are aggressive. Rattlers and Copperheads not as much, but out of all the snakes, the Copperheads are the most non-aggressive. I say this from experience. And, if you try to chase away a rattler or Copperhead with a hose, all you do is piss him off and he'll come after you. I have experience with this also. :)
