Bordering on land that is preserved for Louisiana wetlands, I often get to see native wildlife by just stepping outside my door.
Yesterday’s morning visitor was a water snake that had made it all the way to my driveway.
KJ Lodrigue (www.kjun.us) helped identify my buddy —
Has to be a broadbanded watersnake, but the white is HIGHLY unusual. Looks like what is called a “pied” morph. Awesome.
After taking the photos, I got ready for church. By the time I was ready to leave, the snake was gone from sight. No doubt the concrete was heating up and it was ready for cool dip in the canal behind my property.
