Like most pit vipers, the cottonmouth or water moccasin is normally a lethargic and slow moving reptile. But, when aroused, can strike very quickly.

Water moccasins, also known as cottonmouths, are relatively slow-moving snakes, with an average speed of around 3-4 miles per hour on land. They are better adapted for swimming, where they can move faster and more efficiently compared to their land speed.
