My friends and I heading down to one of my study sites, looking for cottonmouths. At this site I have marked 63 individual cottonmouths, with an average recapture rate of 58%. Oh, and to any sensitive people out there, no I am not "stepping" on the snake, I'm just holding him down lightly with my foot. Enough pressure to prevent him from moving, but not enough pressure to do any damage. The fact that recapture rates were as high as they were should be a pretty good indication that the animals were not harmed. If they were, they would have moved on elsewhere. One individual was captured 37 times for example. Got to watch it grow from a 16" juvenile to a full grown adult over the years
