LOL!!.......good deal Joe. Yes, as you already know, to most of the general public, almost anything with blotches is a "venomous" snake of some sort, usually a "Diamondback" or "copperhead". And if found in or near water, it is almost always a "cottonmouth".....NEVER a plain ol' every day water snake (Nerodia)..LOL!

Glad you are teaching some of these folks the huge difference. This might save at least a few harmless snakes lives. Sadly it doesn't help many venomous snakes stay alive though most of the time.
