Yes, juvenile cottonmouths(A.piscivorous) have the "caudal lure" you mentioned for attracting frogs, lizards, etc..

Those tend to fade away with age though. The pic you posted is one of the two water snakes mentioned, or even very possibly an intergrade as well.....really tough to say in that particular area.


take care!, ~Doug
