Because this snake is found in and around water, and, like all snakes in the genus Nerodia, has a nasty disposition, it is often misidentified as a venomous "Water Moccasin" (a name that is not recognized by herpetologists) or a "Cottonmouth" (a name that herpetologists do use). Like many non-venomous snakes that feed on large prey (vs. small prey such as lizards, earthworms, etc.) the Blotched Water Snake has developed a defensive behavior that mimics that of venomous snakes.

Little girls love to wear their favorite characters from Disney. If only they knew how bad it looked. It makes a beautiful little girl look plain and cheap. It makes me sick! My children have a very limited selection of Disney Princess in their wardrobes and when they put it on I want to throw up. The women that Disney create are unreal.
