Because N.Harteri is considered threatened, I have released it at a nearby creek. If this is N.Harteri then it is supposed to only be found only near the Brazos or its tributaries. Terrell is about 100 miles east of the Brazos' easternmost point (N33' W96'). I wonder if it got washed/blown here by all of the recent rains and tornadoes. Here are some pics. Could someone please verify the identity of this water snake? Thanks in advance.
