I dont think thats a water snake. Its an eastern milksnake, or less possibly a kingsnake morph. The head and patterns are too "off" to be a water snake. Great find though.

of course.

the Y shape [or V] is EXTREMELY variable and is in several morphs.

since 4-5 people already said it was an eastern milk i just threw out there that the Y shape CAN help for identification.

maybe i worded it wrong.

sorry about that.
