I met Iggy last week...
Iggy was hanging out in a tree on the canal by the warehouse. It was a sunny day and he was enjoying himself. Out of range for my camera to take a clear picture, but you get the idea. Not a pretty sight.Later in the week he was on my side of the canal, much closer. Easily six feet long from tip to tail. When he saw me, he did the 'neck flash' routine as though to dare me to walk over.
No thanks Iggy, I know one strike from your tail could inflict some serious pain.
You go your way and I'll go mine!

On topic..You can keep iggy
Neither one of us seemed bothered by it at first.
Then, all of a sudden, he dashed off, after I took some pictures of him.
I wouldn't consider getting that close to a large gator, or water moccasin, however.
Come to think of it, I have been that close to a baby water moccasin, which is actually more
dangerous than an adult. They have 2 types of venom. You're likely dead, if they bite you.
I sincerely doubt the hospitals have anti-venom for the baby type.
I thought you were going to say you took it home and put it on a lead. IGGY.
I'm reading they make good pets.
Thanks... but no thanks.
