I just got back from a trip to Ossabaw Island (an uninhabited island off the coast of Savannah, GA) and I saw tons of alligators, pigs, armadillos, and snakes (of which I only got to take pictures of two). The first one is easily identified as a corn snake. The second one has an awesome pattern with a series of alternating strips that travel vertically down the body of the snake. I'm positive that it is not venomous not only by looks but I did pick it up and while he bit the stick there were no fangs. I've been told it might be a water snake or a garder. Any help would be appreciated, thx.

OSSABAW CORN SNAKE, found on trail to North Beach; about a foot in a half in length.


OSSABAW UNKNOWN, found next to a small active alligator pond; roughly 4 feet in length.
