Can water moccasins live in salt water?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

The range of Agkistrodon piscivorus most commonly called the Cottonmouth or Water moccasin. It does not extend to Pennsylvania. The northern most part of its range is Northeast Virgina. There has never been historically or currently a record for A. piscivorus within PA. The most common mis-identification in Pennsylvania for A. piscivorus is Nerodia sipedon - Northern Water Snake. Nerodia sipedon can show similar characteristics such as aggression, but are non-venomous species.

Note* Before re-editing the correct statement do some research and learn to properly identify the species you think you are referring to. If this is not a field you are familiar with then do not try to mis-lead others.
