Water Snake
July 18th, 2010
I noticed this guy slithering along in the water while I was photographing skimmers at Pea Island. It's either an Outer Banks Kingsnake (an isolated subspecies of the Eastern Kingsnake that occurs only on the barrier islands) or a Carolina Water Snake (also an isolated subspecies.) I don't have the expertise to say which, and I've heard differing opinions from the experts. Feel free to chime in!
