northern water snake

Description

this little guy is only about two feet long . . . just his head is out of the water . . . the rest of him is submerged with a bit of silt settled on his back . . . the northern water snake, although non-poisonous, is rather aggressive . . . when he does bite, he usually bites more than once . . . his saliva contains an anticoagulant, so his victim bleeds profusely . . . you gotta love a little snake with attitude :)
