This snake was in the doorway tonight. He is only about 2 feet long and looks like most of the snakes we see in our tank (pond), about 200 feet away. Can anyone identify him? Think maybe a Texas brown watersnake? [img]/forums/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Alan, I'm not sure what that one is, but check out the Audobon (sp?) Guide to Reptiles. Your library probably has it. It's a great field guide.

"What a long strange trip it's been."
looks like the tx diamond back watersnake....relatively harmless....unless you are a frog or small fish fry!
the TPWD has a great sire on snakes with lots of clear pics you can view!
TPWD ? I am sorry but I do not know what that is. Can you educate me please?

Great site , thanks.
Thanks for sharing the site for snake identification. It is a very helpful site and I see alot of people asking about snakes here. I am curious about a few I actually am not sure of so I will be taking a look myself.
I have to add my thanks to the other members. Thankfully, I have only encounter a snake only once which is one time too many. I was happy to find out it was just a garden snake. It still scared the beejesuz out of me.
