The Yellowbelly Water Snake is the harmless snake most often incorrectly referred to as a "water moccasin" (even though there is no such snake) in Harris County. This is because of its generally dark coloration and its irritable disposition.

Blotched Water Snakes are also very closely related to the Yellowbelly Water Snake, Nerodia erythrogaster flavigaster, which can also be found in our area. In fact, the two will interbreed, producing offspring that are darker than a normal Blotched Water Snake, but still possess the small dark blotches on the back.

However, subsequent Internet research clouded that identification, and now I'm thinking this thing might have been a yellow-bellied water snake. I've seen dozens of pictures of water moccasins and yellow-bellied water snakes.
