Snake Identification PLEASE
Hi all!
Helping out my mom do yard work at her place today in St. Louis, MO, she saw this right after we finished. She couldn't see if it had a white mouth but was scared to death because it is large. A little background on her location is she is located about 8 blocks away from the levy of a large Missouri river (Meramec) and about 2 blocks from a creek. I've seen black snakes but never that size around here and like that. Is it a cottonmouth? If it hadn't gone under THEIR PORCH, I would not be as worries. But they are older and they have dogs.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
