Northern Water Snake

Nerodia sipedon

Habitat:

Canal/deciduous habitat.

Notes:

I found this guy basking on the canal path as I was biking. It didn't budge the entire time I got off the bike, got on my belly, snapped photos, got back up, and back on the bike! He seemed to just be waiting for me to get too close:)
