I once had a long conversation with an expert about snakes under our dock, and have never forgotten what he said: far and away, the most common snake you see in the water on the lake is a harmless water snake. The particular species that is most common is the one that people sometimes confuse with a Copperhead because of the coloration. This particular species is very territorial, and when they find a place they like, they will fight other snakes so they can keep it for themselves. And one of the species they will fight off is the Cottonmouth.

So I wonder how many people have killed or run off a water snake that had been keeping Cottonmouths away from their floating dock? And I wonder what those Cottonmouths did once their nemesis was out of the picture?
