Odd Water Snake

BWSmith Jul 24, 2007 09:06 PM

This odd little guy was found in Southeast corner of GA. I have actually never foun any water snakes down there besides Banded Waters. This just doesn't look like a Banded to me. It MAY be in the range of a Florida, but doesn't look like one of them either. Any ideas?

I figured it was one of the two fasciatas. Which one though?
