I don't kill venomous snakes either, I encounter cottonmouth's and copperheads quite a bit and they mind their own business and tend to quietly move away if I don't mess with them.

The one curled up watched us for a bit, then quietly slid the other way. I was about 10 feet away using a long lens. The one stretched out I almost stepped on. I spotted him just before putting my foot down. Stopped, took a picture with my phone, then he just slid away.

Are both those snakes pictured cottonmouths?
