Experts,
I currently live in Tuscaloosa, AL. It seems to me that cottonmouth populations are nonexistent this year. I have spent way to many hours looking through swamps in a one hour radius and have found only about 5. I'm wondering if any experts out there have any "special spots" within an hour of Tuscaloosa where they have had luck before. I'm not looking to keep them. I'm a catch and release kind of herper.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Gretch

Gretchen, you may get more responses if you completely fill out your profile so folks have some idea of who they're speaking with. It's kind of a prerequisite here. Take care, Marty

If looking for good areas for Cottonmouth activity, your best bet is to look for all the things this unpredictable snake loves Frogs, Fish, Birds, Salamanders, & other such small animals. Cloudy summer days, Early spring brushy water holes, Late summer rains tend to bring movement, Also finding water holes that are coming close to drying up. Some times you will spot multiple Piscivorus eating the dead Fish & other water life that are left behind. A few of us Cottonmouth lovers call them the Scavenger of the Snake world, they seem to adapt to eating some of the most putrid things you could imagine. looking for cottonmouth is always a 50/50 proposition. Good luck, & get a good pair of Snake-Proofs when looking for cottonmouth holes.
Be Safe Ya'll, Happy Herping: Wally
