Sandal-Wearing Guy Encounters Eastern Cottonmouth

A Steve Irwin-esque guy taps the water with his toe to communicate with a four-foot cottonmouth. 

Not a fan of snakes, or even venomous snakes? Then these videos might not be for you. But if you've caught yourself watching animal planet late at night, these videos might resonate a little more than the average person.

Matthew Moore came within striking distance of a curious Eastern Cottonmouth and filmed the whole encounter. Watch his strategic interaction with the adult cottonmouth.

Although Moore was spot on with the analysis of the snake simply being curious, it took more guts than most people have to approach the snake.

With the weather warming up, be sure to keep an eye out for snakes this spring and summer!
