Them: There's a water moccasin under the wood pile. Let's go catch it! Me: There's a water moccasin under the wood pile. Okay, I need 40 gallons of jet fuel, a sprayer, and a flare gun...Oh, and a shotgun. And a helicopter. And...
For those wondering about whether or not it is in fact a water moccasin or not. It is. The pattern of scales on top of the head visible at 1:44 is a trait of some pit vipers like the Agkistrodon snakes (Cottonmouth and Copperheads) and some others.
No it's right there being misidentified by all you amateur UA-cam herpetologist.. That is a water moccasin. A cottonmouth.. even if you miss the facial stripe. The build and the markings. THERES ALWAYS THE DAMN FANG SHEATHS RIGHT THERE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE..
Caption Change/Correction: "Catching an average Water Moccasin." The accepted record for a Cottonmouth is 74 inches (6'2"). This one, at 42" (3'6") is just about average for a mature Cottonmouth. I will leave the debate between whether it's a Cottonmouth or a water snake to everyone else. Without better pictures of the head and eyes, I refuse to debate. As far as whether the Cottonmouth is deadly, all venomous snakes can be deadly under the right circumstances. About whether they are aggressive or not can also be debated. All I know is, at 71 yrs. on this Earth, I personally know of 7 people that have been bitten by venomous snakes. 6 were bitten by Copperheads and one was bitten by a Pygmy Rattlesnake. That is what I have experienced living the majority of my life in South Arkansas and spent a lot of time hunting and fishing in the swampy river bottoms. my personal opinion is that Copperheads, although definitely smaller than the Cottonmouth, is the more aggressive of the two.
@@savagelifevlogsandexplorat5261 Why is it that EVERY website that describes various venomous snakes in North America refer to the only venomous water snake in North America is theCottonmouth/Water Moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorus). Even the CDC refers to the two names as being the same snake. Maybe you need to contact the CDC and show them the error of their ways.
If there’s a poisonous animal in your yard, you have the right to get it out. It’s even worse if you have pets or small children. These people that are defending the snake, why don’t you give them your address and let them drop the animals off in your backyard?
Snakes are not poisonous but instead venomous , having a right vs having compassion for any animal that's only surviving just like we are is probably more in line with what we humans are thinking. We are the worst animals my man.
Wrong dumb ass, go back to school. It has to do with the method of delivery moron, don't challenge people with bad information on subjects that you know nothing about.
You make an incorrect statement and instead of accepting it you just keep on acting like a bitch and arguing, some people have a thing called situational awareness and its a thing of the past with the duh linneals of today. I live where I live because I accept the environment and my kids never got killed by a snake, sociopath because you don't know what your talking about , I can never run into brainiacs like you out in public ,lol. Go back to school son and drop the drama queen shit.
I was waiting for one of them to say, " Hey Y'all......Hold my Beer and Watch This!!" 🤣🤣 Personally.... I would've just started the Wood Pile on Fire, and waited with the Shotgun!! 😁
I’ve found that shotguns make much better snake catchers than sticks and dip nets. You keep catching ‘em, I’ll keep shootin’ em. Time for a beer. Cheers😄
The fact that in the comments some people say it is a cottonmouth and some people say it isn't... kinda worries me someone out there might catch a venomous snake thinking is not and get bit.
Our son was bit in the toes last month by a young Cotton Mouth aka water moccasin, it could have been really bad but he was airlifted right away to the hospital. I have a video on my channel but it doesn't show the snake, just what happened at the hospital and his crazy looking foot!
I was sitting in our kitchen when my younger brother came in the side door announcing that there was a rattlesnake climbing onto the porch. Well it wasn't a rattlesnake but a copperhead and he had walked within a few inches of it. Mom went out the opposite door, circled around the kitchen and shot it. It was over 6 feet long. She stretched it out beside the fuel tank. There was a theory that the mate would join with the dead. It didn't happen. We then went to town for grocery shopping. About a month or so later, the fuel delivery man came to the house. Apparently he had arrived at the house shortly after we had gone grocery shopping. He said that he had tripped over the copperhead and ran around looking for a club to kill it. He added that it was 3 days before he managed to have a bowel movement.
Compared to the huge cottonmouths or water moccasins as most of us call em here in Arkansas that one is tiny. My friend Josh Killed the state record Cottonmouth by the l'Anguille river and it was 5 foot 3 inches!
These guys clearly took a class on the finer points of dressing. I've seen some cool "duds" before, but these guys got it down. I'm going to get some of those boots.
Your firewood pile is a natural place for animals. But no living thing likes MOTHBALLS. Leave the little "benzene-bombs" under and around the wood pile, and avoid the problem entirely.
Animals in general don't like. Limestone. If you build a building up in the air on blocks its best to put in a good thick layer of limestone first. It deters all kinds of critters including snakes
Wonderful! Where are you located? Missouri? Texas? I've just been reading "Lonesome Dove" and this reminds me of when they're crossing their first river (the Brazo?) and one of the Irishmen accidentally disrupts a nest of water moccasins. Dangerouse snakes, those!
Snakes can have a long skinny tail or a shorter thicker one depending on its gender...but I can't remember which one has which...and yes I get that you were just messing around.
I do not know if this is indeed a Moccasin, but being from the Gulf Coast of Alabama, I do know you don't play with those snakes. They can ruin or take your life too quickly.
Definately a moccasin. Lived around those for years in Louisiana, Florida and south Georgia. Very aggressive snake and one that size is deadly. Only snake I will go out of my way to kill is a moccasin. FYI.. they come in different skin colors too, some are more brown like a rattle snake and others blackish like this one.
Many people don't realize that they can really sound like a Rattlesnake if the tail quivers in dry leaves. That tail will shake hard when he knows you are looking at him. Lol
A kid who went to durant high school in plant city florida caught a moccasin as a pet.. Was holding it and it bit him in the face true story.. Snake just wanted a kiss
Sorry to correct you, but it won't necessarily kill you, it'll make you incredibly ill, granted, but water moccasin bites generally aren't fatal to healthy adults.... On another note, that was indeed a large one! 😊
My catchpole is a hoe handle w a small u-bolt & 1/4 inch nylon rope w the loop end drawn up through/ against the u-bolt. Works WAY better than a hook & gives one total control over the snakes especially when u grab em right behind the head. Had a 7 ft diamondback twirl & break the commercial clamp type pole. NEVER had one break the hoe handle catcher.
So nobody is gonna talk about that wicked fart ?
0:46 shit went down fam
@@ltrizzle12 That wasn't a fart! that was a frog!.
😂😂😂
LMAO
Deff a kid fart. Not a lot of power behind it.
Pretty critter! One of my favorite and most misunderstood snakes.
Them: There's a water moccasin under the wood pile. Let's go catch it!
Me: There's a water moccasin under the wood pile. Okay, I need 40 gallons of jet fuel, a sprayer, and a flare gun...Oh, and a shotgun. And a helicopter. And...
Snake handlers in Australia and Africa. "Let's catch and release." In the southern US. "Let's eat him."
The fart noise got everybody more excited than 🐍 snake. Go figure lmao
These dudes acted as if they just defused a nuke. What a joke.
Get bit by one then see how serious that situation seems if you make it 🤣
They… kinda did. I mean. What?
When he picks up the container, the little kid called him a idiot! LMAO 😂😂😂😂
I loved it when the kid called him an idiot !!!

Thanks for showing, you made this old Man laugh today!
I'm surprised neither of them got bit. Great technique handling that lid! LOL
Mach One LOLOLOLOL
the best part of the entire video was at :40 seconds in when the kid farted. Hilarious.
lol 46 seconds to be exact. The kid let a big one rip. Couldn’t see anything else in this video.

Where's the water moccasin ? Was it behind the brown water snake ?
No it's right there being misidentified by all you amateur UA-cam herpetologist..

Depending on their size snakes are good eating too.
Well said that man!
Better dead than alive.
My catch pole is a. 410 expelling size 6 shot. At 4ft a pattern of about a 10 inch circle. Works great and has never failed.
0:46 ok who shit themselves
black rebel the ppl who acually think that this harmless water snake is a water moccasin 😂
:46......Somebody farted
Tick Tock Tick Tock 😂😂😂
Tick Tock Tick Tock How did someone fart in that situation and NO ONE laughed?
@@mikefinney423 it wasn't a fart. They crapped themselves. LOL😝😝😝
Do you really think that’s the only snake in that woodpile?

hope you got good insurance. My wife was just recently air lifted about 20 miles and the bill is 34,000 dollars.
They airlifted the snake? I hope it survived.
I have caught rattle snakes in western Utah. I pin their heads down and then pick them up, carry them out a few hundred yards and let then go.
Now do something with that damn wood pile bro🔥

3 days? I figured he would have had one right then & there!

Copperheads don't get that big.
that's a cool video. I'm pretty sure the 12 gauge would have come out if it were me though
Stephen Lavoie ~ Same here. So after they caught it what did they do with it? Let it go somewhere? I wouldn't doubt it a bit.
Best part .. the child says “ you idiot “ when looking for green thing
I've often heard the terminology, "Numbnuts", just never expected to encounter them on UA-cam.
were you from Joe? we have a ton of them in the south, like Suck Start a Leaf Blower. Knock a Buzzard off a Gut Truck just tons.
Big snake! And it tried to strike in the bin... (did the cameraman cut the cheese?)
98 0/0 of snake bites are caused by attacks on the snake,

Is that snake running cause it’s scared or it’s it running from that nasty fart LOL ?
Water Moccasins make great pets--I gave one to my Mother in Law in her Christmas stocking. --I am awaiting her to stick her hand in it.
How do they taste? Nice catch!
Shower thought: Does a snake have a really long tail, or a really long neck, OR a really long back?
Snakes can have a long skinny tail or a shorter thicker one depending on its gender...but I can't remember which one has which...and yes I get that you were just messing around.
Or a long rib cage lol
How much Mercury is in snakes now days , I read the pythons in the Everglades have too much Mercury to eat
Huge fart @ 0:46
Wood pile next to overgrown field yep gonna forever be a snake habitat
Did I hear somebody fart during this capture? Next wear brown pants.
At 0.46 I don't think that the water moccasin farted.
Fireball Robb 😂
High brass #6 shot in a 20 guage🙈
This is why relatives should not marry.
OMG too funny dude!!!😂😂😂😂😂
stepitup
Is that what happened in your case? People that marry close relatives, end up producing snake-loving misfits
Do you have any pics of that snakes fangs after you dispatched it? Or even pics of the belly?
Did you see their other video where they are catching all the rats in their yard now?
The fart at 0:47 was greasy!!!
king0dasouf sounds like someone needs to change their drawrs.
Might've had something attached.
Did somebody fart?
That fart lmao
Same way I have caught rattlers around my house. They were not aggressive but I worried for my dogs.
Everyone of them I caught seemed to loose their head(s).
"Im gonna eat em....youre gonna eat em? ....yeah....high five.."
Hahahah hell yeah; as it should be
I do not know if this is indeed a Moccasin, but being from the Gulf Coast of Alabama, I do know you don't play with those snakes. They can ruin or take your life too quickly.
That's copper heads, moccasins aren't poisonous
@@sambolton4863 you're right they aren't poisonous they are venomous
Definately a moccasin. Lived around those for years in Louisiana, Florida and south Georgia. Very aggressive snake and one that size is deadly. Only snake I will go out of my way to kill is a moccasin. FYI.. they come in different skin colors too, some are more brown like a rattle snake and others blackish like this one.
Never knew water moccaslns have a plated head???
20 minutes with the car exhaust running in the box will solve the problem?
Ken Berscheit. Didnt work for the Krauts.
What’s makes you puker more black and white or red and yellow
Not weird at all,"I'm gonna eat it!!"...really dude???
😆😄 I was wondering what happened to The Beverly Hillbillies🤡 it looks like Jethro is catching snakes now yeehaw🤣🤗
Decent size. I have 3 near me with microchips embedded that are bigger. By far my favorite snake.
I've seen this series: isn't this The Dobsey Twins visit their cousins?
Many people don't realize that they can really sound like a Rattlesnake if the tail quivers in dry leaves. That tail will shake hard when he knows you are looking at him. Lol
Nice catch!
Did the boy fart?
That’s a freaken tank man.
Wait Lmaoooo who queefed at 00:46 im Screamingggg an im pissy Lmaoooo
🙌🏻🤣🤣🤣
Rofl 🤣 😂 🤣
00:46 squeeze the ketchup bottle please. Hilarious. That is one huge cottonmouth
if its a water moccasin it looks kinda unhealthy, or perhaps recently shedded or needs to
I kind of think it looks like a Midlands watersnake they can get pretty big too
Now that's a snake!
Was that a fart at :47? I feel like I’m watching the movie Step Brothers...
A kid who went to durant high school in plant city florida caught a moccasin as a pet.. Was holding it and it bit him in the face true story.. Snake just wanted a kiss
Just what you want in your pile of firewood when you go out to get some wood.
I caught a water moccasin once, and it wasn't that hard.....right after I shot with a 12 gauge...
Did you wear the same kind of boots as these guys. They are for screwing farm animals.
"Oh, you better" "And me and bubba don't like no smart ass!"
Sorry to correct you, but it won't necessarily kill you, it'll make you incredibly ill, granted, but water moccasin bites generally aren't fatal to healthy adults.... On another note, that was indeed a large one! 😊
They won't bite they just want to be friends.
bit by one 13 years ago i didnt die as you can tell but it hurt so damn bad i wished i was dead at that moment
@RAY,WOW,GLAD YOU DIDNT DIE BUT I BET THAT WAS SOME BAD SHIT
I ain't seen a good snake that wasn't dead
Never met a country boy who doesn't know how to identify the venomous ones. The city has made you soft.

Duuude who shit themselves?? Those poor britches😂😂😂

Was this real or just something they found at toy store and decided to make a video ?
00:46, atta boy
Wow. 42 inchs is big for a water moccasin. See alot of em back home in bama
What part of Bama?
I hope you relocated it. Nice specimen.
they were literally talking about eating him they killed him unfortunately
Yeah…relocated it to the frying pan!
Good work.
little dude said 'idiot'.😂😂😂😂😂
you guys are some real cowboys. This is a baby Moc around where I live...
I'd be wearing boots that come up to my neck.
One would think that the wood pile would have been made so snakes can't get under it, like on top of wire mesh or something.
