Are cottonmouths endangered?

No. Cottonmouths are common snakes across the U.S. south, from coastal Virginia to Texas. Normally found in lowland swamps, they are rare to absent in piedmont and mountain areas. Agkistrodon Piscivorus has several subspecies, including the Florida cottonmouth, Agkistrodon Piscivorus Conanti, the eastern cottonmouth, Agkistrodon Piscivorus Piscivorus, and the western cottonmouth, Agkistrodon Piscivorus Leucostoma. The three subspecies vary mainly in coloration, with the Florida subspecies being darker than the others. Cottonmouths are very closely related to the copperheads, which number five subspecies, in the genus Agkistrodon. Cottonmouths, however, are more aggresive and more venomous than the copperheads. In the South, copperheads are known as "Highland Moccasins", and the cottonmouth as "Lowland Moccasins", because of their affinity for swampy, damp habitats. Both species will vibrate the tail when threatened, and the cottonmouth will throw back the head, and expose the pale interior of the mouth, which gave them the name "Cottonmouth".
