Just wondering if anyone knows what this is. I have him in a bowl but am worried he might be poisonous. Here is a link to a pretty good picture. I have more if needed to identify. THANKS

Soory I guess I sent the wrong link.

i cannot seem to send the correct link. I will email anyone who thinks they can help.

The snake has a light off white belly.

Red and Black patterns on the back and small yellow dots. I live in Florida and found it in a ouddle of water in my back yard. I live close to a large body of water. Thanks

Email the picture to me at Steve.K.Ray(at)Gmail.com and I'll host it somewhere and post it here, and identify it if I can.

From your description, it does not sound venomous. It does sound like a young Florida water snake. A picture will certainly clear things up. The attached link may help clear things up for you as far as identifying Florida's venomous snakes. ~~Greg~~
