Re: Snake ID
Looks a bit slender to be a water snake. At least compared to the ones I've seen.

Re: Snake ID
Northern Pine is a good guess, but the few I've interacted with all had eye bars. The apparent lack of head pattern on this one is throwing me.

Re: Snake ID
It's not a pine snake.
Looks a lot like a water snake.
Here's a pine snake.

Note the different patterns, colour and head shape.

Re: Snake ID
I am not really an expert about North American snakes but let’s have a look at the picture
- the eyes are located nearly on top of the head, that is typical for north American watersnakes (Nerodia sp.), with ratsnakes the eyes would be located lower at the sides of the head
- the scales are keeled, also common with Nerodia, ratsnakes have only weakly keeled scales
So I would agree with Ryan, Hannibal and Aaron, this is a watersnake of the genus Nerodia
- the squarish dark blotches on the back are alternating with a row of similar blotches on the sides
- if you look at the top of the picture you can just see the beginning of the belly scales, they are cream-colored or yellow
This could be the Brown Water Snake (Nerodia taxispilota). The geographical range of this snake is from Virginia down to Florida --> so alessia is this range far enough north for your friend or do we have to look for another species?

Re: Snake ID
I agree, this looks like a member of Nerodia.

Re: Snake ID
I didn't know cobras were part of the Nerodia family!?!?!
