Thought this was the followup from the survey.

NuclearNed asks the interwebz about toilet paper etiquette versus his wife. Leaves browser window open, wife discovers it. Hilarity ensues.

Are you trying to get the shots to build up immunity to snake venom too? :p

that's kind of what I'm thinking, but I can't find anything descriptive in the features visible, hard to tell. The cotton mouths are so varied in color patterns it's difficult to judge, not to mention lack of visible head shape.
Actually, looking at what is visible in the head, it looks to narrow/long to be a viper. (right hand, aka left side of photo, is head of snake, yes?)

It was somewhere in the 5 to 5.5 foot range. He had at least 1 to 1.5 feet coiled around my left wrist and inside my left glove

Locally, this is just called a "black snake". I think the proper name for it is "black king snake". It definitely isn't a cottonmouth - we don't have them in this region, and there aren't any bodies of water near my property where they could live.

They enhanced the kung-fu death grip that I had on the snake. I take every precaution when it comes to bitey animals.
