You can post a picture here if it is hosted online somewhere. You would upload it to a photo host (like Flickr, Photobucket, etc) or the Kingsnake.com gallery.

Then link the URL for the photo in the Image URL box below the reply box.

As for your snake, Cottonmouths don't make it that far north in VA. They stop south of you, so your snake was definitely not a cottonmouth.

Here's a range map showing the known historical range of the Cottonmouth in VA.

There are a lot o urban legends about them occurring further north (even into New England) but those are just urban legends.
