Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus
A solid dull copper colored cottonmouth. I have seen a lot of these snakes but never one like this... sneaky! Spotted on the Outerbanks of North Carolina.
Cottonmouths prefer wetlands but are also found on land in vegetation and under logs and branches.

Really interesting color on this one. Blends right in
