Well, it's definitely a Nerodia, but which species, I'm not sure. N. sipedon, would be my guess.

I'm tending to agree as well. Some of the pics I found of N. e. flavigaster were actually mislabelled northerns.

What is it with photobucket? I see the "... has been moved or deleted" all too often. It hasn't even been there a week!
I'm telling you, photobucket sucks.
