Try this one. Not that difficult, but not one we see here everyday.
Now remember, anyone can look it up in a book. See if you can recognize this one off the top of your head.
Please post your guesses in the message, not in the topic line to give others a chance.

Looks to me like a nerodia of some sort.....(formerly natrix) possibly a hypo form of the sipeodon....but that my guess....
no books to help here....more fun this way

I'm not sure I want popular opinion on my side -- I've noticed those with the most opinions often have the fewest facts.
Nerodia harteri. The subspecies is a bit more difficult. I'm going to go with my gut and say paucimaculata but I can't tell the two subs apart without seeing the venter.
I would really like to see that species in the wild.

I don't remember the scientific name, but I'll guess the Brazos Watersnake.
It is a Brazos Watersnake (Nerodia harteri harteri).

Easy, I caught it in the Brazos River, not the Concho/Colorado drainage.
