The highly venomous cottonmouth. Me and my friend accidently came within two feet of this nearly 3 1/2 foot Pit Viper. (Pit Vipers are a group of snakes which have highly venomous toxins in sacks in their heads which give them a triangular head. You can really see them here!) You can't run when your that close to a snake like that. If you run, the snake will strike. You just have to wait for them to leave. During this proses, we took time to take pictures of the beautiful snake... :)
