Can anybody give me information on cottonmouth snakes in Tenn? How big they get and what they look like.

They are a tan/brown color. They get to be at most, 5 feet long, most of the time in the 4 foot range. The inside of their mouth is white, thus the name. Look for a head shaped like an arrowhead. Generaly found near water, but not always the case. They eat small rodents, and are poisonous, but you'll have plenty of time to get to the doctor if you do get bitten.

Snakes like to live in damp, dark, cool places where food is abundant. Likely places around homes to find snakes include:
1. Firewood stacked directly on the ground.
2. Old lumber or junk piles.
3. Gardens and flower beds with heavy mulch.
4. Untrimmed shrubs and shrubs growing next to a foundation.
5. Unmowed and unkept lawns, abandoned lots, and fields with tall vegetation.
6. Pond and stream banks where there is abundant debris or trash.
7. Cluttered basements and attics with a rodent, bird, or bat problem.
8. Feed storage areas in barn hay lofts where rodents may be abundant.

Search for water moccassins. They are the same thing.
