Do you know what kind it is? My guess would be water mocassin....maybe a cottonmouth....but I'm no expert on snakes. I really don't like them much....one day while I was mowing the yard, I had to walk down the pine vine covered bank and saw about 6 little baby snakes peaking their heads out of a hole. I wasn't real thrilled that they had taken up residence on my bank. :apathy:

Florida Brown Banded Water Snake is my guess, but I've been wrong quite a bit lately.

I think you're right....looks the same to me...definitely not a cottonmouth or mocassin.

Thanks Chris.

Not a great way to start off the new year - four shots handheld

Looking in this direction you'd never know it was gonna rain ten minutes after we got home - we were very thankful it waited
