Snake identification?

[whodat2710]

I put some new fish in our pond, then went out later to see if there were any floaters and I found this little guy sunning himself. Anyone know what kind it is? You can see how tiny he is compared to the pine needles, I zoomed way in to see any markings.

It looks like a Northern Water Snake to me.

Cool site! I clicked through the ones in that family, and I'm leaning more toward the banded water snake, but there's a lot of good info there. I emailed them a pic for them to ID, but it didn't work.

It looks like a loose-jawed pond fish eater to me!

He may grow into one, but a friend was moving and gave us his Koi that are pretty large. For now I would be more worried about the fish eating the snake:laugh:

I thought it may be a Banded Water Snake too at first. The pattern seems to fit the Northern Water Snake. But, I also think it could be a "Banded". (Either way, great pics & beautiful snake)

I'd take a dozen of these in my back yard over a single solitary politician!

What is the difference between a dead snake in the road, and a dead politician? Answer: the snake has skid marks in front of it.
