This one was adorable Cameron, but the larger one we encountered earlier was far more memorable - for all the wrong reasons. I've showered twice but still have a faint aroma of eau de Nerodia lingering in my nostrils!

I have a long history with these snakes and absolutely love them. They are the coolest watersnake. Great spotting!
