Nerodia sp.
Hard to tell if water snake or cotton mouth. I kept my distance. This was the second snake we saw on the same walk tonight.

Understandable! Better to be safe if you don't know what it is :) It isn't a cottonmouth though, if that makes you feel better. Though water snakes are harmless, they tend to be very grumpy!
Yes. Hard to tell here, but I wasn't getting close with only my phone! Lol. 😂
One of the water snakes in the genus Nerodia, hard to tell from this photo. I would bet N. fasciata
