Residents of a Jacksonville, Florida, neighborhood are having problems with venomous snakes, specifically water moccasins.
The Jacksonville neighbors said their problems with cottonmouths and water moccasins began when the reptiles' habitat was disturbed by construction to widen an Interstate 295 off-ramp to Old St. Augustine Road, WXJT-TV, Jacksonville, reported Wednesday.
I should point out that cottonmouths and water moccasins describe the same snake species, agkistrodon piscivorus.
*title comes from a Jimmy Buffett short story in which water moccasins play a major role.
