If it looks like the one on the top of the page, chances are they are Northern Water Snakes, Nerodia sipedon. Where are you located? Andy

Hello, This is a brown water snake, juvenile, about a year old. This species keeps it's colour and pattern throughout adulthood.

This is also a "brown" (if not the same one) showing the distinctly raised/forward eyes of taxispilota. The picture is very dark however the preceding photo is a bit more honest regarding the light brown background and clear square blotches on the back. Important is that the belly is white with black CHECKERING along with the dark brown squares on the back.

I sort of doubt it was a banded up in Kentucky. My guide puts broadbands possibly in VERY extreme western kentucky. But bandeds...I doubt that they are there at all. Andy
