Man!,....if I ever come across a cottonmouth that "truly" has a head as big around in diameter as a large house cat's, I will surely become rich from my exploiting it financially!..LOL!. A venomous Cottonmouth Water Python comes to mind.

Please forgive my humor with this thing, and please don't take offense to my having a bit of fun, but I really did have to chuckle at that part.LOL!

What Chris H. said about the fear part in most people tending to over-dramatizing size when it comes to snakes and the general public, the statement could NOT be truer. This is absolute fact.

There are many uncountable "tales" over many decades that I have heard from people over the years, and the stories never cease to amaze me. Like the Diamondback Rattlesnake that stretched across the width of an "entire" highway!. This is another absolute impossibility. The snake would have to be somewhere in the 15-20 foot range, and they only grow to a MAXIMUM of eight feet long. An eight foot one would be an absolute MONSTER of a Diamondback.

best regards, ~Doug
