My first hot!!!!!

[Jim Smith]

What?? You mean you didn't grab it by the tail and take a good look? What kind of a Southern boy are you? Just kidding of course. I've yet to see my first wild snake of the season and this spring has been a roller coaster of temperatures. I live on a lake where I see loads of banded water snakes and the occasional brown water snake, but I've yet to see a water moccasin. Other folks around the lake claim they see moccasins all the time, but I STRONGLY suspect that every snake they see near the water looks like a water moccasin to them. Be careful out there. A venomous snake bite, even if it's treated quickly can be serious.
