Took a side trip to the river yesterday and originally walked right past this guy. Didn't seem him until coming back through a few minutes later - dang near stepped on it!

Looks like a ratsnake/cornsnake of some variety.

Sounds like the bite can be painful, but not dangerous.

Very cool find. Not cool to step on or get bit buy.
I was talking to a guy last summer who was fishing in upstate NY and he was bit.
He ended up with blood poisoning I guess from the bacteria in the snakes mouth not from venom.
Here is a shot of a water snake in action.
