Question

Snake photo enlarged Could you help me identify this snake living under my shed. I live in western NJ. I think it's a corn snake or a rat snake but I'm not sure. Thankyou. Frank

Answer
Frank the second photo did not come through. That doesn't look like a rat snake to me. It looks like a brown water snake. That banding and the fact that the eyes are way up on the head support this. However, based on this one photo I can not 100% rule out a venomous snake. I'm 98% certain it's the water snake, but send me more pics if you can. Also, since you've seen the snake yourself look up a brown water snake for yourself and see if thats what it is. BPC
