a northern watersnake body shot. I like this shot because its basking on an old tire. Not that old tires are good or anything.....nevermind....

and of course this pose. I'm sure most that have encountered this species is familiar with this.

I know what you mean, Snakehunter. Anytime I get desperate, I just head out to the old bridge nearby, and I find those without missing a beat.

Great pics, mrcanada. I like the old tire one too. I laughed out loud when I read that. Those pictures are making me even more anxious for spring.

Heres a couple pics of my own...

Not in the traditional sense of the word, that is, they are not classified as venomous. They have an anti-coagulant in their saliva which anyone who has been bitten can likely testify to....
