>>Not entirely true. A cottonmouth will coil up and open up it's mouth as a warning to potential threats. That's the only one I know of for sure that will show their fangs

>>If you watch closely, however, you will see that a cottonmouth generally keeps its fangs folded carefully against the roof of its mouth and out of the way when doing it's open mouth display.

Sorry, I thought they all did. The place I hunt in early wood duck season is cottonmouth country. They are everywhere. I did have one open up it's mouth at me as I stepped over a log and and I clearly saw it's fangs and it also struck at me. Luckily I wear canvas chest waders and they are snake bite proof so the fangs weren't able to penetrate. I just thought since that one did, they all did. my bad LOL
