Snake ID?

[KJQ6945]

Copperhead scales are at most weakly keeled. These are strongly keeled, so most likely a Nerodia water snake, probably northern.

Nailed it!

As long as you're not needing to use your canoe, you're fine.

So if it's on my lap . . .

Thats a juvenile Water Moccasin, since you live damn near in Canada, I wouldn't sweat it. You live farther north than they do.

I forgot I live north of I-70! You're right!

Good call, by the way. I snagged that pic from a wikipedia when reading about snakes native to Indiana. I was trying to figure out what those yooge gray/brown things were that I used to see sunning themselves on the R-H campus.

Oops, sorry. I didn't realize I had posted this one before.

There is a Copperhead barely visible just above he horizontal stick in the center of the frame.

Yes, but I wasn’t interested in finding it. I don’t think snake stands out like corn.

After you gave us the hint, I had to increase the magnification on my screen and I could barely see the side of the snake! That is some world-class camouflage going on.

Well, they don't WANT to be found. They know with us it's always get the shovel first, ask questions later.

The only way I knew he was there, was because I watched him go there. They blend in well.

This is what the snake looked like before the disappearing act.

I'm gonna have to watch a scary movie to get that image outta my buffer!
