"Here mommy this for you"

@WillaKissing there are small lakes around this area. A lady who lived a couple blocks away 20 years ago said she drained her water garden pond because she was taking it with her when she moved. Went out to check it and there laid a big old water moccasin. I don’t know why a water moccasin would choose a tiny water garden over a lake but apparently it did.

@cherokeepatti Easy hunting when birds and mice come to get a drink. Eww I just do not like snakes.

@WillaKissing it was a moccasin I think that's why it's so mind &$#@ing the baby picked it up

@WowwGirl Thank God he was not bitten!

@WowwGirl Water moccasins are pretty chill compared to other venomous snakes. We used to have them on our shallow creek on the farm and we played in the creek about 10-15 yards from a cluster of them.

@cherokeepatti my house is surrounded by creeks and lakes

Let a kid pick it up without hissing @cherokeepatti

@WowwGirl We were taught to stay back away from them. They never approached us even one time. When we’d walk down the road and almost get to the creek every one of them in their cluster of a dozen or so would open their mouths to warn us to stay away.
