We have a banded water snake that thinks it found a place to retire. I might have to help him RIP if he gets much friendlier. We used to have lots of snakes on the place. Most around here are non poisonous and just scare the mud out of you when your not paying attention. This is the only one I have seen this year. Not sure where they went. We have had a few cottonmouths over the years, but those are not welcome and we let them know it, if you know what I mean. grin
