All the snakes on this page are of the genus Nerodia.
Terms like Redbelly might be seen as Red-bellied.
And Water Snake is sometimes written as one word -- Watersnake.
None of these snakes are venomous. Facts about snakes are taken from A Field Guide to Snakes of Florida by Alan Tennant. |

This snake is found in north Florida, much of Georgia,
and along the Atlantic coast just barely into Virginia. Grows to four feet.
Other subspecies are the Yellowbelly Water Snake and the Copperbelly Water Snake.
The Yellowbelly Water Snake is found in extreme NW Florida west into
Texas and north into Illinois.

This photo was taken along the Withlacoochee River north of Valdosta, Georgia on 5 May 2006. The snake had traveled more than fifty feet from the water. |

This is the subspecies found farther west -- east Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama.
I photographed this snake in Louisiana on 10 June 2008 at 9:08pm. The location was south of Vidalia in Concordia Parish. |
