You should ass a third poisonous snake to the list. While visiting family members in the southern-most area of New Jersey, we definitely spotted a cottonmouth. We got a very good, extended look, no mistake.
Cottonmouths are venomous semi-aquatic snakes often referred to as “water moccasins.” Their range is south of NJ with the northern terminus listed as northern Virginia. Often, the non-venomous northern water snake is misidentified as the water moccasin (cottonmouth) which does
not occur in New Jersey. The only possibility would be if one was placed here by someone and in that case it would likely not survive the range of seasons.
