Florida Cottonmouth [Agkistrodon piscivorus conanti]

    This chubby little guy was discovered in the roadside swale along US-1 about 3.5 miles north of International Golf Parkway in St. Johns County, Florida on June 20, 2016. When initially discovered the serpent was already in full "cottonmouth" display. When prodded with a rake, the serpent maintained the threatening display and could not be coaxed into striking or fleeing.
