That's what we've always called them also.  They are a great looking snake, but even I have my limits on what I'll pick up.  Beyond the poison of a black snake makes me very nervous, I guess because I know what can happen.  I started letting garters chew on my finger when I was about 8 or 9, and dove into the reptile world, at least as far as what I could find in the woods.  I've never seen a rattler in the wild, but I have talked to old timers who said they used to be everywhere around here. 
I caught a baby ringneck for my daughter the other day, and of course she wanted to take it to school to show her teacher.  She had a sub that day, kids took it out of it's cage and it got loose.  It was found a week later, and released into the school's habitat area.  Ahhh, school days.

While fishing and considring junping in the creek to cool off TWO WATER MOCCASINS came slowly up the middle of the creek one following the other.They were at least as long as the ratterler.I decided against swimming! When I was a kid I would have went in anyway,as I just about lived at the creek in the summer and preferred it over the swimming pool. I have becomed scared of snakes in my old age or wiser.My DAD used to grab them by the tail and swing them around and around above his head , then snap them like a whip poping their head off!

AT least you don't have to worry about the highly deadly corral snake that can find a way into your house or under it with no problems! OF course the brown recluse spider is more deadly then the snakes except maybe thr corral snake. I am a very devoted animal lover as long as they leave me the he.. alone!

I was always told no poisonous snakes were in this area, NJ/PA. Have since found out the copperheads and water moccasins do live around here. Ignorance is bliss. Another digger told me copperheads are shy while water mocassins are territorial and will strike. I hesitate to kill any snake, in memory of steve irwin, but I will make an exception with water moccasins.

Status: offline 		 Moccasins of any kind are terratorial and will attack with out being provoked. Rattlers will leave you alone as long as you leave them alone. The rattle is a warning to go the other way. Coral snakes you rarely see anymore and there have been no documented deaths by a Brown Recluse.

Snakes do what they do and there is not really any mystery to them. They can't eat you so they want to get away, except Moccasins. Moccasins will attack without prejudice and with no regard to size of victim. Best to stay really clear of them. Can't tell ya how many time my carbon fiber leg has saved me from bites.

I wacked this little nasty because he was adamant about taking up residents in my shop and my grandson goes in there with me. He hit the carbon fiber leg cause it is always out front when I am around poisonous snakes.

Status: offline 		I have read that CHEROKEE INDIANS DID NOT GIVE A PERSON A CHANCE IF BITTEN BY A WATERMOCCASIN,THE POISON WORKS ON THE TISSUE AROUND THE BITE KILLING IT. IT IS A MYTH ,WATER MOCCASINS CAN'T BITE UNDER WATER A FRIEND WAS BITTEN ON THE TOE BY ONE.THE SAYING GOES IF WE CAN BITE UNDERWATER WHY NOT A SNAKE!  I was watching a guy on pbs say the water moccasin is the pussy cats of snakes! AS SAID BEFORE THEY WILL GO AFTER YOU! I WAS STANDING ON THE BANK OF A CREEK AND ONE STARTED TO SWIM AT ME WITH HIS/HER MOUTH OPENED WIDE! I SHOT IT WITH A BB GUN RIGHT BEFORE THE SNAKE GOT TO THE BANK .IT WENT UNDER THE WATER AND I GOT OUT OF THERE!

Very poisonous.  I do alot of creek walking for bottles, fossils and arrowheads and have had quite a few run ins with moccassins.  Yes they are very aggressive and don't back down too often.  Most of the time its you thats gonna turn around and go the other way.  They will crawl in the boat with you also.  Fell out the boat one time trying to beat one away with the paddle .  Jesus isn't the only person to walk on water, let me tell you.  August through September is probably the worst time to run up on one because they have babies around.

Even though we have 4 types of rattlesnakes here in NC, I've never ran across one.  My cousin took pictures of an Eastern Diamondback crossing a dirt path while he was bear hunting along the coast.  It looked to be atleast 7ft long.  The Eastern Diamondback is a snake you definatley don't want to get bitten by.
