those cotton mouth/water mochosen snakes will chase a loud jekski?
I personally havent been chased by one on a jetski, but I have had alot of run ins with them in person. They are SUPER aggressive. One time my dad and I went up to some of his property to clean it up. He has a pond on the land. I was in another vehicle, and he was in a big commercial bob truck. He said he spotted a cotton mouth going to the pond as he was pulling in. As he got out of the truck and jumped on the ground he said that the snake turned around and was coming after him! All I remember is my dad standing on the truck screaming "help me son"! It was hilarious, my dad hates snakes. All I could find at the time was a round shovel and I took in after it. I made hamburger meat out of it with that shovel:swordfight:. Ive delt with tons of copperheads and rattlesnakes, and they will go away if you don't pester them and they are afraid of you. But those cotton mouths look for a fight! Also, you dont want to be bitten by one cause instead of swelling up like a copperhead bite, the wound literally rots out a huge hole in the flesh and stinks awful. One of our dogs got bit once.
Another time I pulled into my dads garage on a quadsport atv, his garage doesnt have a door. I seen what I thought was a regular black snake so I pulled in and power braked a burnout on his head. The quad caught traction and pulled a wheelie and knocked my dads v65 magna bike over. I jumped off the quad worried about the bike and the snake was still alive, well after I got the bike back up I picked up 2 ball pin hammers (all that was in reach, and the snake was getting away. I would strike and it would strike. After a few blows to the head I had it. I started looking at the snake and low and behold it was a cotton mouth:bigeyes:! They have a V shaped head whereas the black snakes are round like a water hose. And their mouth is white inside. My wife seen all of this and laughs at me till this day!
Oh yeah, I forgot this is a jet ski forum, sorry for the life story.
