The Pit Viper and the Snake Bites

The last fatal snake bite in Missouri happened in 2015 when a 37 year old man was bit by a cotton mouth while waiting in the James River. Some sources say the water moccasin is the only semi aquatic pit viper in the world. We saw a couple of these ones in a python try to crawl in the boat. It was swimming around the mangroves. That thing swam right up to the boat. Oh, and did it try to get in? They'll try to like, you got to whack them with a paddle.
