Or that's what I'm told. A coworker saw this posted on a hunting site he frequents. I think it looks sort of like a Pituophis, and sort of like Nerodia, but not exactly right for either. Anyone?

I agree, it's definitely a diamondback. A pretty one too!

Amen! Look up the word "biter" in the dictionary, and there's a definition with a nice picture of a snake of the Nerodia genus.
