After seeing this link I am now convinced the snake I photographed is a Northern Water Snake. The older ones are black and not as banded looking .

Ironically, this is listed as the current "most popular" photo on BBG right now! What does that say exactly?

No wonder we instinctively fear snakes. I see you made the "Gillinator" your profile picture. I guess it's still you John. You ain't been snake swallered have you?

Yes it took about 10 minutes for the 'Gillinator' to swallow the Gill. Here's a shot after it finally got the tail through its mouth.

An Auburn football recruit is asked by the coach, "can you pass a football"? The recruit replies, "golly coach, if I can swaller it I can pass it".
What I want to know is did the Black "Gillinator" Water Snake actually swallow the gill?

Looks like a black one to me John, but I agree with Jen, God Save the Blue Gill!!!!!!!!!!

Ya know Steve it does look like a Black Snake and I might be confused but I always thought Black snakes were not prone to reside by the water like this one does. I am very much confused because water snake photos i've been viewing show more of a banded pattern.
Here is a Black or maybe a Rat snake photo I took the same day very far away from the pond I fished .Gotta admit now
they look the same.

Troy this might not be the same snake but it's the same species.I 've seen a 'family' of three at this fishing spot.Not a great shot of the head but I thought you'd want to see this photo.
