Found this cutie in under some black plastic. Very feisty! Musked me as well!

Awesome find. I've been out quite a bit this year. Lots of frogs, turtles, and other critters but not one snake. Not even a water snake when I'm fishing. Very odd, usually I stumble upon lots of stuff. I'm off tomorrow so hopefully it will go better!

Thanks again! This guy/girl was pretty good sized! A lot larger than what I usually find. I wish we had more flat rocks to flip around here in the dfw area! lol

Nice! They have the ickiest stinky musk though - I would much rather be bitten than musked by a nerodia!
