After talking with one of my friends and looking through a bunch more pictures of the two species, I'm going to agree with you guys.



When I considered all of the factors again, the most logical decision that I can reach at this point is that the snake in the video is a Nerodia and not a hognose.



I'm sorry if I came off as aggressive towards anyone...I just went with what my first instinct was on the ID of the snake and didn't leave much room for convincing otherwise. (Not very professional of me.)



The ID of some snake in a low-quality video from YouTube is definitely nothing to get fired up about.



So, I think that this thread has come to an end, and that it is agreed that the snake is most likely a water snake.



My apologizes again for being so hard-headed.



Take care,



Alex
