Northern Water Snake… harmless and in fact essential to the area’s ecology.
They are freaking cool snakes. If you try to catch one be prepared for a battle. They will hiss, strike, empty their digestive systems all over you, and only then bite… but their saliva has an anticoagulant, so it’ll bleed like a stuck pig.
Still, entirely harmless. Other than a bad smell and a little blood they can’t do anything to you.
Nastiest creature out there! I HATE HATE HATE snakes SOOOOOO much. These things are everywhere around Mr. Sippi’s on the backchannel of P4. Just seeing them makes me want to beat them with a club
