Mitch f Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I was out showing my friends son how to fish the other day at Busch Wildlife and we stumbled across this snake (literally). I think it was some type of water snake but don't know for sure. "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
ColdWaterFshr Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Doesn't look like any water snake I've ever seen. Milk snake?
Gavin Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I aint never seen a snake like dat bfur...Lets pick it up:>)!
Justin Spencer Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I'm no expert but looks too big to be a corn snake, and belly doesn't look right to me. I think it is a water snake because it is so big around, and many are colored like that. It very well may be a corn snake, if you are an expert 3wt then I'll take your word for it, but looks like a water snake from here to me.

Justin Spencer Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Whats the last thing a redneck says before he dies..." Hey fellars, watch this!" We had a smart police officer from Iowa do a Steve Irwin impression on a copperhead down here one evening. Despite Amy telling him it was a copperhead he proceeded to grab it by the tail and get a nice bite right on his hand. His wife was real happy to be taking him to the hospital, but despite a huge hand he was back the next day and on the river.

Wayne SW/MO Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Looks like some water snakes that I see here. At least very similar. The temperature of the water right now is cold enogh that they are pretty docile. I pulled one out of the water recently to see if it was alive, and after it laid in the sun it took off like a bat out of Haiti. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
