Re: Can Someone Tell Me What Kind of Snakes These Are?
Midland Water Snakes (Nerodia sipedon pleuralis), harmless. These guys primarily eat fish and amphibians. This is breeding season, so it's likely the larger there is a female and the others are amorous males. Nice find.
Broadbanded Water Snakes (Nerodia fasciata confluens, the only subspecies of N. fasciata that occurs in Tennessee) can only be found in extreme western Tennessee, along the Mississippi River.
