Cottonmouth Snake
I was informed by a U.S. Fish and Wildlife biologist that there has been a large number of snakes found nearby a bluff at Mingo National Wildlife Refuge in Puxico, Missouri.
Early morning we found and almost stepped on as many as 20 Cottonmouth on the bluff.
We made a calculated risk and approached them as close as possible, without being bitten by these deadly poisonous snakes. I’d like to thank John Hartleb for informing me and assisting me in this photo shoot.
