Caught another snake in North Georgia

wizbang Aug 29, 2006 09:05 PM

Thought this was another black racer at first but upon further review, we think it is some type of water snake.

Digital camera batteries died after 4 pics and this is the only decent one and it's only so-so.

He was aggressive and musked a lot.

Can any body take a guess? I leand water snake due to pattern and a head that is more broad than the racer I just caught.

I've done a little web research.

I'm guessing a dull colored Northern Water Snake.

I found some pics on-line of young ones that seem to match.

Thoughts? I know the pic isn't great.
