Cotton mouths are becoming a problem down here and they have bad attitudes. At night they cross the road to the frog marsh and they wont take off like other snakes, they hold their ground and come towards you. One of the neighbors had a BIG one curled up inside her golf cart battery box and would not come out. I had to take the batteries out and it would still not move out of the corner so I shot its head off with 44cal snake shot.They are very territorial according to the game warden...Frank
