Haha I love the water moccasins. They're just so angry all the time. I pulled one out a pile of rocks once. I had only saw the tail end and from where I was standing it looked like a prairie king so I said what the heck and pulled it out. Definitely NOT a prairie king. She was a big gravid female from the looks of it and none to happy about me disturbing her. I was standing right by a creek so as soon as she whipped around I went "Oops." and gently tossed her in the water.
