They differ in having more advanced venom delivery systems than the venomous Colubrids. Elapids have fangs that are "effectively tubular" in that the fangs contain grooves that are enclosed by an infolding of the edges. The fangs are in the front of the mouth rather than the rear as is seen in venomous Colubrids. The Elapidae contains some of the world's most dangerous snakes including cobras (Naja), mambas (Dendroaspis) and sea snakes (Hydophinae and Laticaudinae). Elapids are found worldwide and in Ausralia are the predominant family. In North America, three species of elapids are found, two species of coral snakes and one sea snake. The coral snakes are relatively small snakes that spend most of their time underground. Their primary food is other snakes. Despite their small size and small fangs, their venom is extremely toxic. Micruroides euryxanthusWestern Coral Snake Micrurus fulvius Eastern Coral Snake Pelamis platurus Yellowbelly Sea Snake ---- == == The vipers are generally considered to be the most advanced family of snakes since they possess a very sophisticated venom delivery system. Large tubular fangs are placed in the front of the mouth and they are hinged, allowing them to be folded back when not in use. Their heads are covered with numerous small scales and their eyes have vertically eliptical pupils. All the vipers found in North America are in the subfamily of pit vipers (Crotalinae) having a pair of heat sensing pits located between each eye and nostril. The rattlesnakes are a truly American family of pit vipers since they are not found in the Old World and all but two species are found in the U.S. or Mexico. They are divided between two genera based on their head scales. Members of the genus Crotalus have numerous small scales on their heads while members of the genus Sistrurus have large scales (plates) on their heads.

Can water moccasins live in salt water?
Yes they live in water, in holes that either catfish or crawfish dig and when it outgrows the hole then it searches for a new one. Kinda like a Hermit Crab When it gets too big for the shell he'll search for a bigger one. Nope, they hunt and spend a lot of time in the water, but when they "sleep" on land
Can you tell what kind of snake it is by the skin it sheds?
It is likely impossible to tell what type of snake it was by the shed skin. If the head was largely intact you could look for indentations on the side of the face that might be the heat sensing pits of pit vipers (rattlers, cottonmouths, etc). But this would be highly highly unlikely:) being 3 feet in length could be many many types of snakes. For sheer probability, it depends on where you live. By numbers, some species of water snake (nerodia), rat snake, etc would be probable. Sheds are not good identifying factors, unfortunately.
