Can't believe I'm asking this...snake ID!

[Burnadell]

If anyone wants to whup my arse for posting this, I perfectly understand!

This was posted on FaceBook as a water moccasin. I am (mostly ) positive it is a water snake. The tail is not stumpy enough for a moccasin. This is the only picture posted, and I enlarged it already.

To be honest with you the underside of that snake looks a lot like it is a cottonmouth.

Looks to me like one you wouldn't want to play with

Cottonmouth
That belly does it for me as well

If he shakes it more than twice, well...

Im no expert so my responding is mostly pointless but I will anyway,haha. Looks like some kind of water snake ( non venomous ). I have never seen a water mocassin with a checkered belly like that.

That's tail looks plenty stubby to me!

NO! That is definitely a coral-mouthed rattle head.

Okay, I will yield to you experts, but I just thought that moccasin tail were stubbier!

Sorry Burnadell, but I actually laughed out loud at this one!

[FIRETX12]

Ok, the Ark comment should go down as an all
time classic.

Confirmed on another site by a herp expert as a Cottonmouth.
