snake ID
Caught two snakes of the same species today.
Let the bigger one go and am keeping the small one for a few days.
I have no idea what species he/she is though.
Is light gray/brown in color with darker brown colored strattles
I think it has a checkered belly but I can't get a good look right now.
Caught them in the fort Wayne/Leo area in Indiana
Does anyone have any idea what species this is?

Re: snake ID
It looks almost exactly like the little water snake I caught today and released. I agree with your guess, it is a water snake.

Re: snake ID
I'm glad that the harmless water snakes are getting some attention! Very cool and misunderstood.

Re: snake ID
He TORE up the tank 
Moss was everywhere and his water dish full of dirt.
He is VERY active and seems a little more curious, but is still a bit easily startled.
I held him for about 10mins without any strikes today.
Just redid his tank and he's already burrowing under the moss and swimming in his new water dish I added (put in a bigger water dish for him to soak in and enjoy)
Going to enjoy his company for one more night then let him go tomorrow evening

Re: snake ID
I set-up mine more like I would like a small aquatic turtle: water in the majority of the tank with a small submersible filter, and a few areas to get out and bask. As with yours, he definitely uses every inch of it.

Re: snake ID
It's only took about an hour before all the dirt and moss has been burrowed through again and the water I just put in is already dirty again xD he is a very active snake

Re: snake ID
I thinks it's amazing how your temporary housing looks better than most people permanent enclosures. Good job.
