You look on the snakes back and it looks like the tread on a gravel bike tire.

I don't know. I thought the Northern Water Snake because of it's proximity to the water. Has the dark pattern with the faint reddish banding I saw in some images of the Northern Water Snake.

Here's a video showing a couple of them. Looks a lot like the snake in my photo.

Great Video. To think a snake could swallow that whole frog.

A week later and still there in nearly the same place (red arrow).




Also, saw this neat toad when doing trail work earlier.

Nice. I was thinking the one I saw in that spot this week might not have been the same one as the week before.
