Depends on where it was found. If it was found in the Philippines (where the FB page it is posted on is from) it aught to be a Dog-faced Water Snake. If in was found in the US it is a Diamondback Water Snake. If you can get a good shot of the head I should be able to tell for sure. Be careful with it, Dog-faced Water Snakes are rear fanged and mildly venomous.

This I can't really answer, I don't know much about these guys. Odds are the symptoms are relatively mild and localized; burning, stinging, swelling and the like. But with any envenomation there is a possibility of a severe reaction, I wouldn't take any chances until I knew more about the animal and its venom.

No problem. Keep us updated on his progress, like I said I don't know much about these guys and it would be awesome to see how he's eating and behaving.
