Does anyone know the species? He's sitting across the road from our driveway and my wife is terrified of him. Yeah, that's the ticket, he scares my wife. He's HUGH and SERIES, almost three feet long!

Any herpetologists care to chime in?

Personally: I’d vote for “dead” or whatever he latin term might be.

A watersnake variety judging by the color and pattern of the markings. And a male.

Your link to “Snakes of Massachusetts” is incomplete. It does not show the John Kerry, the Barney Frank, the Niki Tsongas, the Sal DiMasi, nor any of the other deadly snakes of the Commonwealth.

I live in Texas. My guess would be a cottonmouth aka water moccasin, if I saw something that looked like that. Also, I would pick up the nearest hoe and separate the snake’s head from it’s body. Country folk take no chances where poisonous or possibly poisonous snakes are concerned.

“If cornered, they do not hesitate to strike. Water snakes can almost always be counted on to bite, defecate and spray a particularly foul-smelling musk when handled.”
Yeah, I’d leave him alone

I believe that you nailed it. We live next to a pond, and the ground a few feet off the road is generally muddy, leading to a drainage brook.
To: Lonesome in Massachussets
Yeah, a deadly python-anaconda hybrid. Or a Yankee watersnake.
