Agkistrodon piscivorus
Also known as the Water Moccasin. These pit-vipers are highly venemous and abundant here in the Southeast, even in Winter (really doesn't get that cold here). There are usually three or four at this one location. I was lucky enough to spot this one along the trail to show a friend visiting from Australia.

Great shot!
Great addition to the Phinizy Swamp Plants and Animals Mission. Hopefully, your friend will reciprocate with a guided photo safari in Australia. They've got some very gnarly snakes.
Very nice, Liam!
I'm so jealous you are finding snakes in 2013 already! It really seems like everyone has already, but since I haven't yet I'm hoping my first one is something really great! Great photo, I love these guys!
