Do you know what kind that would be? All I saw of him was a tan/light brown color. Any suggestions in case he returns?

Bleach will kill a snake.
We had problem with them in Lathrop Mo., the the house we bought had a brick pile in the back yard full of snakes and, not being able to shoot in
the city I found that bleach would kill them.
If they are in water put the bleach in the water, it has the same effect.

Today I was walking up to the front door and my 80 lb lab was going nuts and jumping at the door…oh how I should have paid attention. It was a 5-6 foot cotton mouth. The strange thing was I have a statue right by the door and the snakes mouth was around the nose of the statue. I could see the white inside the mouth and all this stuff pouring out of it’s mouth. I have never seen that before. Needless to say I RAN!!! This is the 6-7th cotton mouth i have walked up on in 10 years. At the back of the house we have a pool and we put in white shell…small shell. I have not had a snakes there in over 9 years. The shell WORKS!!!! Have never had one cross it to the pool either. At the front of our house about 200 feet away is a large pond and I’d love for them to stay down there. By the front door we have a decorative pond with beautiful stones and a water fall. I think what is happening is there must be a food source uner there, we are taking it out this weekend. Thank you for your site, very helpful.

I wanted to know if this is true at all?

I mean, will they usually strike at ankle or mid-lower leg level? Will wearing rubber boots repel a bite? I am out in he eastern NC woods hunting and figure it’s only a matter of time until I will encounter one.
Thanks,
Mike

Last night I found a cotton mouth on my back deck in the slow process of eating a huge rat, about 6 feet from my back door. The snake was about 3 feet long and pretty dark, but I could make out the pattern somewhat. I was frightened so I began to search how to kill a cotton mouth, and I came upon your site. You informed me that these snakes do not normally cause any problems when unprovoked. I began thinking how grateful I should be that it was eating a gigantic rat which might otherwise have come into my house. Your website made me realize my fear of the snake was an irrational one. I also read a post you made under someone else’s comment (who was bragging about killing cottonmouths)and you asked what the snakes had done to him or his family to deserve that. Which was obviously nothing.

Anyways, you really made me think, and you allowed me to watch the beauty of that snake eating a rat without having thoughts of killing it. Thanks again!
