Big Snake

For a watersnake it certainly had the biggest fangs I've ever seen as my buddy could attest to. I grew up here in the south on a river. I know my snakes.

Did you notice its eyes? If so, what was the shape of the pupils?
 
Not the clearest photo, but based on head shape and girth I agree with the OP that it's a Cottonmouth. As far as size..there's a bit of a forced perspective there. The ol' fisherman's trick of holding the bass out towards the camera which makes a big fish look even bigger.

Yep...very much forced perspective. A six foot moccasin would be pushing record size. Sure is a skinny thing to be a cottonmouth though....

That is a Cottonmouth, absolutely zero doubt. I've been collecting and breeding them for 25 years.

First off i don't know if it is or isn't!
Horr, How can you tell it is/isn't by what you see in the pic? Head, color, body ect. Thanks
