Florida cottonmouth (Agkistrodon conanti) is a common venomous snake species from wetlands and floodplain forests in Florida. This pit viper was previously just a subspecies of the Northern cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus). Other names of these snakes include Water moccasin or gaper. In this video you will see wild cottonmouths in their natural habitat, their defensive behavior (hence the name cottonmouth) and also cottonmouth feeding! We will show you how cottonmouths differ from water snakes and copperheads.
