Northern water snake

Thanks Nichole! Yeah there were two snakes, one is smaller and darker. Definitely makes me look up more often when I'm hiking in the woods!

I love northern water snakes! So beautiful. This one is very big! Lol. Great length. Neat picture on the tree spotting too, especially pine, the snake being in it I mean, and so high! It almost looks like there it two snakes there? Great spotting!

The tree* was about 8ft

Thanks! At least 4ft I think. The was about 8ft but it was on a really steep slope that went into a big pond.

What a Beauty!!! How high up in that tree was it? Looks like a three or four footer! Awesome spotting!!!! :-D

Yeah I didn't even know we had snakes around here that size!

Wow! Looks like he was a big one!
