Snake, I think. Slytherus nasticus is the Latin, I believe.

It's fucken big. It look like it has just had a feed. (or it is fat) I hate it when you can't identify a snake. You have no worries in Australia mate. Here they all kill you.

LadyJafaria [2019-04-24 03:36:34 +0000 UTC]

Probably Nerodia fasciata the banded water snake. They're not venomous, but water snake species share habitat with the cottonmouth and copperhead throughout their range so may have actually developed a form of mimicry.


By the time a cottonmouth is full-grown its pattern usually fades away and it will appear uniformly black or gray from a distance. A copperhead's pattern doesn't fade, is brighter than this, and usually includes wider bands of a "Hershey kiss" shape. Unfortunately the true giveaway of whether you're looking at Nerodia or Agkistrodon is the eyes, and I can see why people don't want to get close enough to check them. Water snake eyes look froggy: they're big and round.

It has a much brighter copper color than those shown on the links. I really appreciate your help in IDing this snake. Maybe it is a water snake I certainly don't know. I live in Georgia so maybe I can get the wildlife folks here to ID it.

Stormangel13 [2019-04-24 01:37:40 +0000 UTC]

I could be wrong, but it looks like a Copperhead. They like water too. Have very distinct coppery color which though picture is dark looks to be the case. Cottonmouths tend be a little more gray. However the state and area where the image was taken ins very important in Identification. I would say either an eastern or western copperhead. It could be a northern Cottonmouth, but again location and area are key. Without that knowledge it is all just guessing. Cottonmouth also known as a water mocassin are known by their very distinct pointed face. The shape of their head is very sharp and looks more like a triangle then just a diamond.

Tailgun2009 In reply to Stormangel13 [2019-04-24 07:34:28 +0000 UTC]

It certainly has the coloring of a copperhead. I need to do some searching and hopefully find out just what it is. Thanks so much for the information!!
