This was a first for me to see.

I beleive its just called a water snake. One nearby resident told me she lived there for 27 years and only saw one of these. So I guess I have 21 years before I see another. I guess they get to be rather large and normally shy. They are agressive though, another neighbor wasn't thinking very clearly, put her hand in the bucket and it bit Her. I put it back in the water away from my place.
