A Water Mocosin Is shaped just like a Cotton Mouth... Short, fat, and the tail comes to a "tip/point" real quick, but has the 2 tone brown striped like the one in the pictures above. It also has a real wide head.

A regular water snake is the same color as the water mocosin above, but are long and slender and dont have the wide head...

I have never reasearched this, its only what ive learned by myself and "hear-say".... someone correct me if im wrong..

"Cotton Mouth" is just another name for a Water Mocosin. The inside of the mouth is white.....looks like the color of Cotton.
