You probably missed a record when you didn't catch that six foot water mocassin. 42" would be enough.
As for the black widow, the hourglass is on the ventral of the abdomen. The black widow is an orb spinner and never sits on logs. It would be astonishing if your could actually see the belly from above. Probably the famous "false black widow", usually seen in dreams, drunken stupors, or childhood memories. see ag.ohio-state.edu

You are very wise to teach your kids about poisonous snakes.
Snakes are our friends. No US president has even been killed by being bitten by a snake. Snakes eat rodents and even lagomorphs.
