| More than 100 species of snakes, including the poisonous copperhead, cottonmouth, rattlesnake, and Texas coral snake, are native to the state. |
| I'm not glancing around for the next cottonmouth or even the clamping jaws of an irate alligator. |
| She comes across a cottonmouth snake by the lake and experiences a spiritual and fatal attraction. |
| It is also known as the cottonmouth, because it threatens with the mouth open, showing the white interior. |
| Any cottonmouth that came near me would wind up dead and I've brought home more than one fish with a bullet hole through it. |
| A dangerous snake with a potentially lethal bite, the cottonmouth tends to stand its ground or move slowly away when alarmed. |
