Snake description help(no picture)

18 years ago

Hi,my basset just found a snake by the front porch and a aggressive one at that.I finally managed to get her away from it.I was on the porch and heard the snake hissing at her,I think the fact that the snake looked like it had just eaten probably kept her from being bitten.It had a lump halfway down its body so I assume it had eaten something.Anyway it was dull black and had a heavy looking body,approximately 2ft long,it was coiled and hissing and the head was triangular shaped and the mouth inside white.I know there are cottonmouths across the street from me as the properties have low areas with water.I can't find a good photo though of a cottonmouth on the interernet though.Does this sound like one?Thanks for any info.Hopefully it was just a rat snake.Debbie
