Cotton Mouth Snake

Cotton Mouth Snake by .imelda.
Taken By Danielle

I sent my daughter to take this photo of a snake we found on our way home. It was pretty close to our house. We live by a creek in a suburb and we see all kinds of animals on the pavement. My husband has seen a few snakes but dead so we took these for him. We had no idea this snake could really hurt Danielle. I kept yelling, "Get the shot! Get the shot!" While she was telling back, "He's going to eat me!"

Jesus, Imelda. You should invest in some antivenom for when a 4 year old Mason comes home with one of those.

@KC: I gotta do something. Mason is such a little boy but hopefully no snakes in the house.


@Mario: yeah, yeah, I don't know what the hell I was thinking! My dad is wondering if I am taking my kids to the alligator farm next or if CPS has called me yet.

It is one thing to have your daughter take some nice shots of a snake doing his business, but when the snake opens his mouth in defense, it is time to get the heck out of Dodge!!
