Hi,
I'm in Baton Rouge, too. Quite frankly, the markings are much more like a midland that they are a broad-banded. If you are anywhere near a river like the Comite or Amite, it is probably a midland. Broad-bandeds are much more common though. It is not uncommon to find them quite a ways (a mile or so) in woods where it tends to stay damp. There are also small pools in the woods that frogs and salamanders breed in making them great feeding places for snakes. I counted 20 watersnakes and 2 cottonmouths in a 6x12 foot pool in woods, right where Broadmoor High School is back in the very early 60s.
