It's hard to tell. When I blow up the pics they become too grainy to really see their heads. From the length of them they appear to be water snakes of some kind.

From what I can make of their heads, they are narrow, not wedged like a viper. Cant make out the eyes either. Moccasins are typically shorter and stockier. Around here anyway. A 16" moccasin will be as big as around as my wrist and have slitted pupils. I think those are all long and skinny and appear to have round pupils.

I killed 13 moccasins in two weeks after we got flooded in '16. They dont tend to spook. If anything, they are very aggressive and will challenge you.
