I was out fishing today and enjoyed watching what I believe is a Texas Rat Snake. There were several water snakes out today too, but they were skittish just poking their head up and then diving away.

This Rat Snake was very docile and let me come right up to it for pics. Also interesting that it swims with most of its body above water. I bet the Rat Snake gets killed unnecessarily down here because everyone says Water Moccasins swim on top of the water where harmless water snakes just stick their front up.

He was nice sized, 5 feet.
