Picture is kinda blurry when I zoom in on my phone, but I would say it's a plain bellied water snake.
Ask this dude, who clearly got close enough to it for a great ID

ID?
Diamondback Water Snake.
Clearly not my pic, but taken by a friend. Capt. Scott Null is a retired HPD homicide detective and has been a full-time fishing guide for about 15 years and I've fished with him since about 2011 on & off. He's also a tremendous outdoor photographer and culled this shot from his entries to the "Wildlife in Focus" contest, in which he's won several awards in the past.
If you're looking for a light-tackle guide, especially fly fishing from a poling skiff look him up- he's down in POC/Seadrift these days.
Anyway, pretty badass shot.

Not a snake but figured some would like to see this. Location Cashiers, NC
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.
Damn, a huge cobra that spits deadly venom into your eyes from 9 feet away. And some young genius living with his parents let's it get out.
Same funny who got bit by his green mamba this year.

Venomous snake is on the loose in North Carolina
Saw this on a news feed and thought of y'all.
People r dumb
News says they caught it, porch of the same house it escaped.
Went on a run through houston today. A body builder looking dude screamed like a little girl, yelled "ahhhhh f***!" And hid behind his gf/wife when a 9" snake slithered across the path 10' in front of him.
Did you run over and slap him on the ass and call him a little *****?
Was getting ready to go to work last week when my wife noticed a neighbor and her daughter standing in the street looking on our yard. Wife walked out and quickly called for me. Neighbor had seen this feller crawl across the street and up into the yard. 3 year old girl was looking at it barefoot from about 2' away.
Whoa, sneaky. That looks like H-Tine St. Augustine and live oak leaves. Where are you located?ChipFTAC01 said:

I ask because me kids are very snake curious and my youngest boy is fearless. He'd pick that bastage up like he did the little ribbon he found in the wagon the other day.
Actually Magnolia leaves.
West memorial area.
I was just going to relocate him down to the bayou but Mrs. FTAC01 kindly asked me to dispose of him. While she was fetching me a shovel I took my eyes off of him and lost him in the grass. Had a moment of panic that I didn't think "Um, I can't find it now" would go over very well. Couldn't scare him into moving by kicking leaves or anything.

Learned today my wife does not appreciate it when I knock on the front window then present her the 4 foot rat snake I just removed from the hen house. I'm getting good at distracting them with one hand and grabbing them behind the head with the other.
Women can be like that. My mom had a fit the first time she saw my brother and I walking up to the house with a hognose held in each hand.

Had a dad riding bikes with his daughter run over a coral snake when we were out walking the neighborhood. He apparently didn't do much harm, it crawled into some rocks and jasmine and disappeared. He said he was trying to kill it and I told him he was better off showing his daughter a picture and educating her since that is the easiest snake to identify.
He had that stupid "all snakes are bad" confused look on so I moved on.

A few I've come across now that I can post pictures:
Coachwhip near Kurten.
Dekay's in CS.
6-7' Indigo near Beeville (snip from a video).

The coachwhip in my above post almost made my wife cry. It was right under the gate she had just got out of the truck to open, and she didn't see it until she started to move the gate.MouthBQ98 said:

Not that I don't appreciate the Dekays Brown, but I love Austrailan Shepherds.
To me, there's no better dog, but I had one for 15 years.

Doesn't get better than an indigo
I've only seen two in the wild and regret that I haven't caught either one. Awesome snakes!
Another really big fan of Indigos. Very cool snake
First snake for me in awhile. Little guy.

Apparently I'm too old to interweb properly. But it's a cool picture. Sorry for the fail.
if you right click the image and open it in a new tab and then use that url to link to it works (that's what I did to get it to post).SteveBott said:

Snack time
I accidentally whacked a large specimen with the weedeater when cleaning up the ditch.
