This one is obviously staged, but be thankful for it because the alternative shot would have been the pancaked version of this snake if not scooped up from the road a few feet from this rock and stream. I know he wasn’t thankful, unless teeth and musk are a watersnake’s way of showing appreciation.
Still, I’m happy to get a shot of one full-body with habitat shown.
