This article is BS. Please use the correct names to avoid all this confusion. A cottonmouth is totally different from a copperhead and can not be easily confused. Water moccasin is a nickname which covers both...https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment8614Wed, 30 Oct 2019 10:48:51 GMTYou're absolutely right!https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment8493Thu, 11 Jul 2019 20:40:38 GMTthe color variances are true in many species of snakes.

Don't think I've ever heard that before. Mind you, I'm not saying I don't believe it. To me, it would seem more accurate to be called American Krait. Coral Snakes don't spread a hood. And they more resemble Banded Kraits...https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment8114Sun, 06 May 2018 10:55:47 GMTIs either one considered a rattlesnake?https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment7882Fri, 08 Sep 2017 10:23:52 GMTPlease overlook my spelling errors.

Having lived in the south for close to 60 years, I have probably seen, and caught, every snake common to my area. Yes, the title is misleading, and, quite possibly,...https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment7827Thu, 22 Jun 2017 13:26:33 GMTYou started comparing water moccasin to cottonmouth and then you put copperhead in there while you were trying to explain the cottonmouth. Lots of errors in this article. Also snakes are not poisonous they are venomous. This error alone...https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment7690Fri, 24 Mar 2017 09:17:07 GMTThis article is flawed because it is supposed to be a comparison btw the cottonmouth and the water moccasin("Water Moccasin vs. Cottonmouth: Know Your Snakes!") . In the section titles habits it becomes a comparison between the Water...https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment7298Sun, 25 Sep 2016 20:08:41 GMTWATER MOCCASIN is a general term referring to water snakes in general, most of which are non venomous, Cottonmouth is an official common name referencing The venomous pit vipers Genus Agkistrodon piscivorus.https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment7050Tue, 17 May 2016 13:49:46 GMTYou're right, they have the title wrong.

This is actually all so wrong, I don't even know where to begin... I'll just pick one thing... Snakes are not POISONOUS. Snakes are VENOMOUS. Poisons are ingested, or absorbed; venoms are injected (via bites or stings)....https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment5693Mon, 22 Jun 2015 13:38:18 GMTNo. No. No... Cottonmouths and water moccasins are the SAME species of snake. There are visual differences among individual snakes within the species... Juveniles are lighter pigmented, and their crossband patterns are more pronounced,...https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment5692Mon, 22 Jun 2015 13:30:00 GMTThis is untrue. Cottonmouths are semiaquatic. Copperheads and rattlesnake species prefer to remain dry. Other than the word "coral" in their common name, coral snakes are not aquatic, and prefer dry habitats. Coral snakes are not even...https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment5691Mon, 22 Jun 2015 13:23:17 GMTI believe the title for this should be "cottonmouth vs. copperhead." Water moccasin is another name for cottonmouth, they are the same snake, Agkistrodon piscivorus; the common name varies, but there is only one species of cottonmouth....https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment5690Mon, 22 Jun 2015 13:08:05 GMTThey are both VERY poisonous.

Some people also consider the Copperhead snake to be just like them, but again they are not the same.https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment5658Wed, 03 Jun 2015 11:52:15 GMTI am no snake expert, but I believe the Cottonmouth is a flat blackish/brownish color with a white mouth, while the Water Moccasin is a shiny blackish/brownish color and has a more pinkish mouth.

A water moccasin or cottonmouth is highly dangerous as well as the copperhead. They are pit vipers. Basically any snake in water is dangerous and you should avoid it. Copperheads, water moccasins and coral snakes...https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment4693Wed, 07 May 2014 13:35:00 GMTI didn't think the plain water moccasins were poisionous just the cotton mouths,https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment4655Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:35:01 GMTA water moccassin is a cottonmouth.https://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment3365Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:33:20 GMTWhat's the difference between the two smakeshttps://recomparison.com/comparisons/100906/water-moccasin-vs-cottonmouth-know-your-snakes/#comment2677Sun, 11 Dec 2011 19:52:45 GMT
