Do water moccasins exist in Rhode Island?
Water moccasins, also known as cottonmouths, are often associated with the southeastern United States. However, their presence in Rhode Island is a subject of debate among experts and locals. While some claim to have spotted these venomous snakes in the state’s wetlands, there is limited scientific evidence to support their existence here. Further research is necessary to confirm whether water moccasins truly inhabit Rhode Island’s ecosystems.
