Diamondback water snake?

spycspider Jun 26, 2013 12:57 AM

Found this 5-footer flattened alongside feeder road to a highway that crosses a major river near Houston, TX.

My guess is some sort of Nerodia...perhaps diamondback? I'm more of a turtle guy

Without question a classic Texas Ratsnake (Pantherophis lindheimeri).
