I posted this about an hour ago but I can't find the posting. I live in the Northern Neck of Virginia a few miles away from the Rappahannock River. There is a very small pond two blocks away with woods right behind our patio. We were eating dinner on the patio when we noticed a gray-brown snake with thin cream-colored lines (our friend thought they were light green lines) across its body and going down along the underbelly making the gray appear like large blocks. It was about two to two and a half feet long and maybe an inch or two wide. A friend looked at a picture I have and thought it was a cottonmouth but I thought maybe it was a water snake of some kind. I was not able to find anything like it on the internet. I did not know how to post the picture since I am new to this.
