the cottonmouth and water mocassin refer to the same animal.
Iam from Louisiana, and I definitely can learn ya about some water mocassin. The water mocassin's fffffffffavoriate meal is the Yellow Belley Sapsucker. But if there is none near by, he will settle for a tripe or hedgehog. That's if there isn't a bunch of Snipe close by. then its SOL for the water mocassin.
The common term, especially in the South, is Cottonmouth. It's also well known as a Water Mocassin.

There are possibly THREE venomous snakes in Halifax County. The Copperhead mocassin is definitely there. The Timber Rattlesnake and the Cottonmouth Moccasin MAY be there.
Despite the candy-like sound of the name, they are deadly poisonous. funny the sweet sounding names- Cottonmouth, Mocassin, are deadly reptiles- on a par with out old Fiend the Copperhead.
If a person had terrible luck, he could be bitten (very rare) and get an infection from the bite, then fail to have it treated, and then die. There are only 4 poisonous snakes in the US, though: the rattlesnake, water mocassin, copperhead, and coral snake.
It really depends on the conditions. Personally, I have noticed I can sometimes smell them for several feet. Sometimes, I can still smell where they have been after they are gone. There have been a few times that I have come right up on them and never knew until I saw them.
