Florida cottonmouth (Agkistrodon conanti) is a common venomous snake species from wetlands and floodplain forests in Florida. This pit viper was previously just a subspecies of the Northern cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus). Other names of these snakes include Water moccasin or gaper. In this video you will see wild cottonmouths in their natural habitat, their defensive behavior (hence the name cottonmouth) and also cottonmouth feeding! We will show you how cottonmouths differ from water snakes and copperhead

This was an awesome video, people often disregard the cottonmouth because it's so common, but I live in Louisiana and I NEVER get tired of seeing them when I'm out and about ...Love cottonmouths!!.

I love all snakes but vipers are my true love, especially Cottonmouths and Lance heads of Central and South America. Great video, I never tire of your films.

I've never heard of a scavenger snake. I always learn something new from Louis, and am very glad new footage is finally coming out. I look forward to more!

For any frog enthusiasts, the species being eaten was a Southern Leopard Frog, while the species vocalizing in the background were Eastern Narrow-Mouthed Toads. Great video! My first snake of the year was a Cottonmouth, found it a few feet from a Pygmy Rattlesnake too!

You all should have your own documentary show for Animal Planet Discovery Channel or Net Geo Wild. The amount of work and knowledge you put into your videos is second to none. Even a person like me thats scared of snakes i still love to learn as much as i can as long as its in my house and not next to one. Thank you all for all the hard work that you put in.

Great video... Love that one eating the roadkill... Its a brilliant strategy... no venom or energy wasted as with a live meal. FREE LUNCH... if no cars come by.... if not then the price is incredibly high.

Wow thats a neat color pattern on that copperhead. At first glance I thought it was a bothrops with that stripe running down the side of its head
