Snake Identification Help
I'm new to these forums... I'm glad to join and be able to share my interest in herpetology with you guys. Where I live snakes are hated by most people and are killed when seen (I guess it's that way everywhere.)
I found this snake in Houston County, Georgia which is in middle Georgia on the coastal plain. I saw this snake a few feet from a lake in grass near a mixed forest. It was very relaxed and did not seem to be bothered by me holding it. I took some pictures but I still cannot identify it. It was a fat brown snake with a small darker colored head. The underside is what I think will help distinguish it from other snakes. It almost has a white and orange checkered coloration. I apologize for the bad picture quality, it was taken on my cell phone. If you have any idea what kind it is, please let me know! Thanks!
