Agree. Diamondback water snake. I have several every year that come and go in my main pond and the small creek that is behind it.
Usually have a batch of babies reared in my forage pond. They seem to be smart enough to not have babies in the main pond where there are large predator fish. Had three about a foot long last year in the forage pond.
Somewhere in one of my old threads I have a picture of a medium size one swallowing a peeper toad late in the night. Man that toad was making a horrible screeching sound.
Take those boys out with flashlights around midnight during the summer. All sorts of neat stuff for kids to experience. Pick up a baby BG in your hand while they are sleeping in shallow water.
