Large watersnake sitting in shallow pond water while smaller snake swam up to it and they were sitting together touching a while. Mating behavior, or? There was also a baby of same species chasing frog just ~3 ft from these two. Lots of active nerodia out tonight. Warm evening, about 74F. Can definitely tell by how much faster the reptiles & amphibians move!
Saw 4 or 5 Nerodia tonight in same pond. This was smallest. Fiesty little guy- bit me & musked, but still photogenic. Beautiful belly scales. Found & grabbed from shallow pond water.

Either was on the seed pod of Melia azedarach or on frond of Adonidia merrillii that was hit by a fallen seed pod. All i know is that I was moving the palm and a seed pod/snake bundle fell from the sky, hitting my shoulder.
Crossing ingraham highway at night. I believe this is nerodia floridana... but I'm from Ky so what do I know.
