Spotted in a rocky stream in east-central Alabama. My first personal encounter with one of these beauties :)
Clear, rocky streams with plenty of cover, sun and crayfish.
Queen snakes subsist almost entirely on freshwater crayfish.

Thanks Mitch!
Killer spotting!
Thanks! I have seen lots of snakes, but had never laid eyes on a queen snake until a week ago. I actually saw two in one day, but in the water they are gone so fast you're lucky to even see it, let alone get photos! I got very lucky with this one!
great photo... I have always wanted to see one of these snakes.
