Hi Kim



I have never heard of a rat snake seeking out pond



there are however water snakes that are black - and some are deadly



dont confuse the rat snake with other species

so easily done



best way forward i would say is -- identify the species at hand



some info on the black rat of ohio can be found at http://www.oplin.org/snake/fact pages/rat_snake_black/rat_snake_black.html



"Local Habitat

Forests, rocky hillsides with large trees, farmlands and old fields"



you can check out other reptiles of Ohia at

regards

Lynx
