Me and my son took a lovely stroll down the 'ole creek a couple of days ago looking for some of these adorable little creatures. Found three. We also found a whole puddle of emerging Hyla cinera treefrogs.

Looks like fun -So what kind of snake is it? And how venomous is it? Were you doing it for any reason (eg. are you keeping them?), or just to play....

That is a Agkistrodon piscivorus, or more commonly known as a Water Moccasin or Cottonmouth.

Justin, seems like you guys had a good stroll.

As Bigcappa said, a Cottonmouth. How venomous are they,..well let's just say that they can cause a little 'Fleshwound'! I always go out herp hunting. Early fall is a good time to go out and find Cottonmouths and Rattlesnakes here in Alabama. I've done it for almost 30 years now. Only been bitten twice!!! I no longer keep snakes, and it became illegal to possess venomous reptiles in Alabama in 2000. Just do it for thrills nowadays.

Yeah, it was a good stroll. I've had better, but also worse. ATVs are now carving paths in and around the creek we've always hunted on and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find reptiles in the numbers I did when I was a kid.

HA!!! I'm already a lefty! But yeah, 'safety' is my middle name, as you can see in the photo titled' Jdog vs. The Kraken'!!!
 
Wow - Great photo's, though, I wouldn't be caught dead there (or would I) - Being in Oregon there isn't really anything like that here... would be amazing to see though.

That's always something that's seemed funny to me......what's the point in making keeping anything illegal when you're allowed to have guns? :) The petshop owner down the road from me has various rattlers and a few vipers on display......(not for sale though -you still need a license in Britain). Also thought that was your beard.........
 
I use to herp for rattlers n other critters......got alot of desert out here. But I'm thinkin your area is much better.....
