Location: Polk County, Circle B Bar ReserveI am a Banded Watersnake
People confuse me with a Cottonmouth.
I am harmless, but Cottonmouths are not
But we are both found throughout the south.
(Please read the excellent article linked below for detailed information on how to tell the harmless Banded Watersnake from the venomous Cottonmouth snake. Another great resource is the Florida Snake ID group on Facebook.)
