It is usually associated with bodies of water, such as creeks, streams, marshes, swamps and the shores of ponds and lakes, but it is usually not found in swift, deep, cool water. It is also found in brackish water habitats and is sometimes seen swimming in salt water. The snake is not limited to aquatic habitats, however, large specimens have been found more than a mile (1.6 km) from water. In various locations the species is well adapted to less moist environments, such as palmetto thickets, pine-palmetto forest, pine woods in eastern Texas, pine flatwoods in Florida, eastern deciduous dune forest, dune and beach areas, riparian forest and prairies.
I wouldn't recommend it ! The Cottonmouth is a highly-venomous snake !
