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.

Water moccasins, which are also known as cottonmouth snakes, are usually found near bodies of water such as swamps, marshes, and slow-moving streams in the southeastern United States. They are semi-aquatic and are excellent swimmers, so they can often be seen near the water's edge basking in the sun or hunting for prey like fish and frogs.
A water moccasin, which is the only poisonous semi-aquatic North American snake, gives birth to between 1 and 15 live baby moccasins, which are lighter in color than their mother. They are more similar in color to a copperhead than the adult moccasin.
