northern water snake

nailed it

 

[snakeguy101]

nerodia fasciata ssp.

it is definitely a water snake but it looks like the southern subspecies to me which doesn't reach that far but it could be a melanistic northern....

 

[bumpylemon]

yeah found this guy in near the blackstone river. thanks for the ID guys....there were hundreds!

Nerodia fasciata i have seen tend to have stripe but a lighter color on the back. May be eurythrogaster. Do you have a pic of the belly?

As said before by someone else, it's a Northern Water Snake, Nerodia sipedon.
