    what kind of snake?

    It isn't a garter snake but I can't figure out what it is. Any ideas? I live in Illinois.

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

    That's what it looks like to me. Good looking little water snake.

    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.

    That's why the forum gallery is a great choice. As long as the forum exists, so will your pictures. And it's free.
