any help on how to post a pic of this snake I have found?

If you click on the photo galleries link above, with the forum links and such, you'll be able to log in and upload photos to Kingsnake. Once you've done that, go to write a post as normal. At the bottom, there'll be a box that says Photos: and you can click on the things you've uploaded and they'll display with your post! Good luck,

Thanks for the help, and now for the picture. The pic was cleaned up a little for viewing, I couldnt get close after I made it mad.

ok I'm going to take a shot I know for sure it's a garter of some kind I'll say checkered, where was the snake located?
(thamnophis marcianus)

So i thought at first too, but it has the head and temperment of a viper, and the body of a water snake. This free-roller was found in a water canal in front of my house in shallow water, located in Las cruces, New Mexico, about ten miles from the mexico border. Im going to look for some pics of a checkered garter snake. Oh, and thanks for your help.

It's a checkered Garter Snake(Thamnophis m. marcianus)

Some non-venomous snakes will flatten their heads/bodies/etc. to make themselves appear bigger. I've had a lot of water snakes and hognose snakes exhibit this behavior, and it works for a little bit until I get a good look. Some snakes are just aggressive.
