found this little water snake at the park in the creek yesterday. I really think it's a queen snake, but after seeing a picture of the queen snake's belly, the one I found looks different. See for yourself:

Here is the picture of the queen snake that i found on the net:

and here's the snake that I found:

Sure looks like a queen snake (Regina septemvittata) to me.

Acually it is a graham's crawfish snake. indiginous to the southern states found in ditches, bayous, ect. very common where i live here in louisiana.

Don't know about LA, but in mississippi, Regina grahamii only has a single row of spots on the ventral surface. I see double rows in the pictures.
