She was a really friendly water snake BTW
Personally I wouldn’t have hung around to find out if friendly or not.
Was friendly isn't the proper description, she is ...:yikes:RoflQuote:

made me say this about that , wildlife that gets fed often , no matter the species , tend to die at the hands of those that would take advantage of it.
her life expectancy in those parts is short if she keeps on being friendly to them ketchn fish for sure , just saying
That makes sense. Don't get many snakes hanging around me. I feed Heron's all the time smaller gills and sunfish.
a few spots I visit in the general public areas are flat out full of water snakes , that spot has a solid number of them , but I know a spot that is just all that in the spring and to be sure it looks like a serpent spaghetti festival in the rocks over there , water snakes seem to really enjoy the rocky banks along the shallow water areas .
We got cotton mouths here on the bayou. They smell the fish and head towards the smell source. Fishing from a bank is when it is a little dicy. Market bait or fish smell will draw them in close pretty quickly.
Bon Temps!!
cottonmouths are pretty rare in these parts , we are on the edge of the of the western cottonmouths home range , see one about once every 10 or 15 years around here . so I rarely worry about interactions with the real deal
