Too awesome! Not a bad first herp of the year at the time. Fort Collins, Colorado
Riparian, pond
Not true, Desmond. Any species can swim with their whole body above water, just their head above water, or their whole body below water.
I like how they keep only there head above water, unlike the cottonmouth.
spectacular shot!
What a cool snake; that's not something one sees every day!
