Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Identification
I found this little guy while I was out for a smoke at work...
First time I've ever seen a snake in the wild!
Anyone have a clue what he is?

My guess would be a Northern Water snake. What does the belly pattern look like?

Do fox snakes range into your area? Looks sort of like a little one.

He sort of has a checkered belly...
I have no idea what local species of snakes we have...

I don't think the Easterns have made it that far east (yet?).

It could be some sort of racer I think. If I recall correctly they go through quite a pattern change as they mature. Not positive though.
I know I have an eastern field guide somewhere, if I can dig it up I'll see if there is anything similar in there.

I can't get any further decent pictures of him. He doesn't stay still very well.
He is a Northern Banded Water Snake btw...
He has been identified!
