Water moccasins (aka Cottonmouth) are carnivorous and will eat whatever they can catch. They are a venomous water snake found in the southern United States. According to an internet search, their food sources include small mammals (rodents), reptiles (other snakes, lizards, baby alligators, turtles), frogs, fish and birds. They can be very aggressive if they feel threatened (personal experience) and people have died as a result of their bite.

∙ 12y agoIam 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.

∙ 14y agoWater moccasin's( also known as algae eaters) eat algae They can grow to be 1/3 the size of the fish tank that's big! For an example I'll use your average aquarium. Let's say the aquarium fish tank is 100ft that would make the algae eater 34 ft long or 12 inches depending on male or female.
