And those of you who think a cottonmouth is bad, well, it`s obvious you`ve never fooled with a really mad diamondback, or a normal tempered pygmy rattler.
And how many of those "cottonmouths" these folks seem to boast about seeing or slaying are actually just a cliche banded water snake....
Up here around Athens everyone claims they "killed a cottonmouth" yet the closest real cottonmouth I've ever seen is Warren County. Still don't think there has ever been one in Walton or Barrow county, much less somewhere like Gwinnett. Maybe I'm wrong, idk.
