Although I know there are many snake lovers on this board, I am not one of them. Never have liked snakes and I don't think I ever will. Today I was out running on a hike and bike trail when I saw a snake crossing my path. I stopped and the lady I was about to pass walking her dog stopped as well. The snake was way too big for my taste, about the only ones I can stand are those little grass snakes.

Anyone have any guesses on what it was? It came up from a Texas creek, was 3-3.5 foot long, black. I am guessing Water Moccasin or Cottonmouth. I didn't have my contacts in and wasn't about to get close enough to get a better look. I *think* it had a triangular head, so I am sure it was one I didn't want to meet.
