Had this yellow bellied water snake in the yard this morning. I tried to direct him out of the yard and into the pasture so the cats and dogs wouldn't get him but he wanted no part of it. He headed to the rose bush by the porch and would not give any ground. Seems kind of skinny to me.

Not a snake guy but are you sure on that ID?

Looks like a yellow belly racer to me. Our yellow belly water snakes here are gray almost like a cottonmouth.

I agree with CCBIRDDOGMAN. Yellow belly racer.

Cool. I thought he looked skinny, plus he wasn't as aggressive as other yellow bellied water snakes I've encountered. Thanks.

Same here Blank. I don't care what kind of snake it is. Out in a pasture it gets a pass but if it's in the yard it dies.
