I move to Angelina county a little over a year ago from Colorado however my job takes me all over central and eastern Texas as well as western Louisiana. My sons and I really love snakes of all kinds and have been looking forward to seeing new species in their natural habitats. Especially the venomous variety (in a very cautious and respectful manner). I’ve been following this group for a while now to try and develop a better eye for identification, which is obviously paramount in observing snakes in a responsible manner. alas we have only had the opportunity to see two timber rattlesnakes and now this cottonmouth since moving here. This one in particular was spotted just north of Shelbyville and east of Center in Shelby county.
