Saw a small bodied water snake swimming by the rip rap on the dam last sunday and my buddy Stell says,"That snake ain't [censored] compared to the one sitting up on that log."This pic was taken at a good 15 feet away.That was about as close as I wanted to get.This snake was super big bodied.Thanks for looking.

The water snake would have been more aggressive but I agree... No reason to [censored] that one off

That is one BIG snake! Also think it is a water snake! Photo reminds all of us it is that time of year. Snakes are on the move. Stay safe.

Saw a small bodied water snake swimming by the rip rap on the dam last sunday and my buddy Stell says,"That snake ain't [censored] compared to the one sitting up on that log."This pic was taken at a good 15 feet away.That was about as close as I wanted to get.This snake was super big bodied.Thanks for looking. Having been face to face with a few ... I would agree that is a Cottonmouth. The head is a little hard to see but the shape of the head looks like one. But I could be wrong.

"Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness."
"All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy." � C.S. Lewis

This is 100% a Diamondback Watersnake. No if and or buts. Plenty of clear exmaples http://www.animalspot.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Diamondback-Water-Snake.jpghttp://www.animalspot.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Diamondback-Water-Snake-Images.jpgThe side stripes are a pretty good give away. The yellow on the lower jaw is another. I currently have two of these in an aquarium at home I caught last weekend. Going to release them tonight probably.
