water snake?

hancoveguy · 05-25-2010, 07:03 AM

Sunday afternoon the kids were goofing around with an inflatable rowboat at the beach and we noticed a snake following them in. We managed to spook it but now my wife won't go back in the water.
Anyway, we were trying to figure out what kind of snake it was. Tried to look it up but nothing really seemed to match.

Any thoughts-
about 3 feet long. Mostly brown. Smallish head. Swam with its head above water and when we spooked it it went under for a bit but resurfaced a few feet over. This snake was not "more afraid of us than we were of it". It only spooked with the help of an oar...

Wish I had more info for you but thats all we got.
