Cottonmouths sometimes venture on land

Randi Grainger sees a lot of wildlife on his property in Wesley Chapel, including the recent sighting of a cottonmouth. Grainger said he wanted to get a better shot of its head because when the snake opened its mouth, its head just seemed to disappear and it became ‘all mouth!’ A cottonmouth also is known as a water moccasin, as the snake is semi-aquatic.
