Having a bit of a disagreement with someone on Instagram. Claims this was a Cottomouth and I said it was a harmless water snake (blotched, I think....)

The water snakes admittedly are the hardest for me but wanted to be sure.

Go back one page and look at Tx Ag72 post -- its a picture of another yellow bellied and you can see the same lines on the face

....then you can enjoy the fact you were right!

Ha. No need to gloat. I just wanted to make sure I had it right. Like I said, I'm just trying to get better at ID'ing them.

My old neighborhood (Houston) Facebook group is arguing this morning on this one. Most think its a WM. A few are trying to convince the others its not

The first pic I wasn't sure, but the second one I could see the vertical lines

Big, round pupils in the first picture. Seems pretty clear it's some sort of water snake. Usually when I'm sure, the experts prove me wrong though!

I'm guessing yellow belly water snake.

Killed under our neighbors dock on Lake LBJ. Is it a rat snake or yellow belly water snake?

Have you done any tests on them with big rattlers?

Doesn't matter. A big enough snake will break thru most anything. Be aware and you'll be fine.

You are better off getting a set of chaps or guards you can put on easier than changing out boots. If they are easier to put on, you are more likely to be wearing them when you need them.

ETA: I have a set like this that I wear when walking sites. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/foreverlast-snake-guard-shields

ran into my neighbor today. he was certain he saw a 6 foot long "water mocassin" the other day when mowing his yard, when trying to run it down with the mower, it ran up a live oak. Ya'll can guess what type it was, i tried to politely tell him that would be a state or even wordl record "water mocassin" and he tried to play all coy like he wasnt convinced it was anything but a man killing machine.

cant believe how this thread has convinced me to let them live and my friends and family are now shaming me for not killing them.

If its black its a water moccassin, if its brown its a copperhead. I swear this is the rule that so many people live by its not even funny.

Little too close for comfort. Clearing cedar, and nicked this guy on the back with my chain saw blade. Never saw him until he was moving away. #lucky
