Plain-bellied Water Snake (juvenile)

Nerodia erythrogaster

Notes:

About 8 inches long. Thanks for the ID. I've see the adults around now that I know what they are. They are nearly black on the back but I noticed they still have the patterning if you look closely.

Karen, please include links with your ID suggestions. Then you would see that brown water snakes are not found in Missouri.
