I am a Florida Cottonmouth
I'm patterned brown now, as I age I'll get darker
When I was a baby, my tail tip was yellow
My color's not always the best ID marker.

Thanks to today's special guest photographer, David Simpson.

Note: Although this snake is not aggressive, it is venomous and it's bite can be lethal to people and pets. Please read the article linked below for details.

Location:  Goodwin WMA, Broadmoor unit
