Hey gang!

We were at Mountsberg Conservation in Campbellville on Saturday; and as we were watching a Painted Turtle, we noticed this snake kinda coiled up in the bush right over the edge of the pond.  Any idea what species it might be?

It was probably 3 to 3.5 ft long...  a blackish green.  I recall the centre at Mountsberg having a wildlife ID board in previous years but didn't see it anywhere yesterday.

Thanks in advance!



It looks as though it may have been shedding recently.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.

It looks like a Northern Water Snake.

Cool.   8)   Nice to know this snake isn't venomous!

Thanks BB...  I believe you are correct as I took that snake name and did some Googling.  It sure looks like it.
