Cottonmouth
The below photo is of a juvenile Cottonmouth. This snake got its name because of the white tissue inside its mouth. When threatened, this snake may open its mouth, exposing its fangs. Or it might just bite. The bite of this snake is very serious, much worse than the copperhead. It's an aquatic snake, so you're most likely to find it near lakes, ponds, or swampy areas. They are fairly common in the south, and this one was caught in Orlando Florida.

Here is a photo of a young Cottonmouth snake.
