It always helps to also mention exactly where in the country the snakes were found(state,county, etc..), this helps to nail-down exact subspecies better.

It is without question just a harmless watersnake though, probably a Banded Water Snake(Nerodia f. fasciata).

Is it dead?,....it looks like it's possibly already been mis-"identified" and sentenced, as water snakes many times are.
