It could be mr Bad but hard to say definitely without a good head shot.He could be a banded water snake. A good head shot is exactly what this snake needs Bonz...from my .22 mag!  I have a saying about this particular situation...when in doubt, whip it out!

Arrived at work this morning at 6:15 and when the night guy I relieved left there was a little rat snake under his truck!
It was about 50 degrees out here, so I guess he was just trying to stay warm, anyway, when I picked him up to take him off the location one of the other hands thought it was a copperhead.

The pattern looks like a dark colored diamond backed water snake to me.

Water Snake, see them all the time around rocks in my fishing hole when the weather warms up
If it's legal ain't no way in hell it's catch and release, it's CATCH & GREASE, except ROUGH (TRASH) Fish

Herpetologist here- definite Nerodia (water snake). As are 90% of the aquatic snakes we encounter in Texas.
Support clean air and water regulation, and keep our public lands PUBLIC!
