Northern Watersnake

Nerodia sipedon sipedon

Description:

"The Northern Watersnake ... is a large, nonvenomous, well-known snake in the Colubridae family that is native to North America." Source Credit: Wikipedia. I'd say this snake has been eating well, as evidenced by one or more bulges along its body. Summertime, and the living is easy!

Habitat:

Huntley Meadows Park, a 1,425 acre wetland area in Fairfax County, Virginia USA. Related Resource: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/huntl...
