Answer:

Water Moccasin

Step-by-step explanation:

Anacondas and boa constrictors are the same species of snake which did not live in the American West where cowboys would have been. A garden snake is not a particularly feared species of snake either, with it lacking in poison. The water moccasin would be the correct answers because it possessed a very dangerous venomous bite that could be potentially fatal.
