Nerodia rhombifer
About 3 ft in length when first spotted at waters edge. Only the head came to the surface for pictures. Diamondback water snakes are predominantly brown, dark brown, or dark olive green in color, with a black net-like pattern along the back, with each spot being vaguely diamond-shaped. Dark vertical bars and lighter coloring are often present down the sides of the snake. The underside is generally a yellow or lighter brown color often with black blotching.
Rain water retention pond for the City of Corinth, Tx. This is a pond about 3 ft deep.
