Are cottonmouth water moccasins venomous at Sugar River in Wisconsin?

Answer 1

Water moccasins are a type of venomous snake that is also known as cotton mouths for their white mouths. The scientific name for this type of viper is Agkistrodon piscivorus. They are very common in the southeastern US. They can be confused with the Northern Water snake, which is harmless. Check for the angled shape of the head and a dark tail to tell if it is a water moccasin.

Answer 2

No, cottonmouth water moccasins are not found in Wisconsin. They are typically located in the southeastern United States, primarily in the Gulf Coast states. If you see a snake in the Sugar River area in Wisconsin, it is unlikely to be a cottonmouth water moccasin.
