Finally, some snakes

While chasing a small northern water snake from crevice to crevice on the bank of a shallow stream, we found this snake instead. This photo shows the queen snake's (Regina septemvittata) very distinctive ventral stripes. Also, in contrast to the water snakes we were finding today, it doesn't have a distinct pattern on its back.
