my son and his buddy found a snake in our upstate NY yard (swamp area nearby). I do not have a pic but I will try to discribe it.

Juvinile(only about 8 in) , Black with a few white spots, white belly, wide triangular head, very aggressive. I made my hubby take it out to the edge of our yard and let it go - but I was wondering what it was. My son is 8 and loves catching all forms of wild life ( even though Mom makes him let them go.)

Please tell me what it was
