Most water snakes around here have a brown back and an Orange belly. The moccasins have a brown back with a lite greenish color belly with some designs of black markings on the belly. They float on top, get as big around as your arm and are sassy as all get out. Killed a big moccasin the other day right at the shop yard going over into the soybeans. I won't be checking much in the bean fields for a while. They are thick now, hard to walk through and there is no telling how many of those bad boys are out there hiding in the thick. No sir, I ain't dumb. Maybe they will bite a woodsgoat or two and do me a favor.CF
