He seems to be somewhat detached.

It took a while but after digging around I found this photo I took of a meeting I had on the golf course a few years ago. This cottonmouth was a little upset because I interrupted his nap.
As you can see cottonmouths are a tad aggressive and it's best to leave 'em alone. I pinned this guy down with my driver handle, and told my golfing buddy to hand me my cell phone so I could take a picture. His answer, which was from about 75 feet away, was "**** you, I'm not getting any closer to that GD thing!"

Pretty sure that's not a cottonmouth.
From a distance that one appears to be another copperhead. Still nothing I'd want to be playing with.

Not a copperhead either. Whatever it is, it's non-venomous. Pine snake possibly, but I have no idea what part of the country it was found in.

Seems like it would be kinda difficult to kill a snake with a revolver unless you beat it to death...
Really dangerous too.
I spent all day outside working on my place and planting in the garden. Saw seven snakes. 2 venomous, 5 non, from 8" on the small side, to 5' on the other end of the spectrum. All survived, everything is fine, and I didn't scream like a little girl and kill any of them!

Nice gun. The prices on the Colt "snake" guns have been going through the roof of late.

Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woaaaaah... we are not to scream like girls, then?
Can we at least high-step it out of there, acting casual, but screaming very high-pitched on the inside...? That's kinda my M.O.

I literally dug this little guy up this evening:
His head is on the the bottom side of the picture. I assume this is an eastern worm snake, and he had dug himself into a pile of dirt the landscapers left me last year. I understand they're quite common over most of their range, but you seldom see them since the spend much of their time underground or hiding under something. I know this is the first time I've seen one.
