ID Help in Eastern NC

This beautiful animal scared my wife half to death this morning. About 4 feet long, grey-brown back, bright orange belly. We're in Cumberland county, NC.

Anyone know the species? My guess is a red-bellied water snake, but I really have no idea.

Thanks.

That looks correct to me. Hope she has recovered!

She looks like she's about to blow - with babies. Wow, what a heavy-bodied Nerodia!
I wish that were slithering across my back step.
Fun find!
