Cottonmouth
Agkistrodon piscivorus conanti
The venom of the cottonmouth is produced by glands that are located near the point where the upper and lower jaws join. As the snake strikes and inserts its fangs in the prey, the muscles surrounding the poison sacs contract and squeeze the venom along ducts that lead to the base of the fangs. The venom then travels through the hollow fangs and out a small opening at the tip of the fangs into the prey. Total venom replacement actually requires no more than three weeks, even after being fully depleted. Under natural conditions the amount of toxin is never significantly diminished.
Cache placement approved by Mark Nelson, park manager.
