THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 21 - PLAIN-BELLIED WATER SNAKE
Finally, another snake, right?
It is not that I am constantly on the lookout for snakes specifically, it is just that there are a lot of varieties slithering around here. It's not what some people would enjoy, I sure do!
The Plain-Bellied Water Snake (Nerodia erythrogaster) AKA the Plainbelly Water Snake is another one of those common, nonvenomous water snakes that often gets a bad rap. Yes, these guys will bite you, but you usually have to grab them first.
They are another water snake species that bears live young and does not lay eggs. Since they prefer permanent bodies of water, you will rarely find them far from lakes, ponds, streams, or rivers. The rest of the info is in the video, enjoy!
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

OK, I'm not quite as hands on with the nature as you @papa-pepper but I live semi-rural and sub-tropical in Queensland.
Last summer while building a retaining wall with recycled tyres (where all about the recycling!) I picked up an old tyre partly full of water. I always check for spiders (got a phobia it's the legs) and I'd been really noisy so I thought any self respecting snake would have moved on... But as I was carrying the last tyre (half full of water) the water seemed to well, move in ways that it shouldn't the weight was moving against gravity...
To my surprise (and the surprise of the Tiger snake inside the tyre) we both discovered that I am a lot more athletic with a tyre full of water than either of us thought.
We also discovered that Tiger snakes can fly if they are really frightened by a women screaming and dropping their perfectly comfortable water front homes... Tiggy is now residing in a large clump of wild ginger!
Tiger snake and gardener both doing well but with slightly elevated heart rate! Now doing more thorough checks of empty tyres, shoes, wheelbarrows etc...
WOW! Now that is an experience!

Nice!
great post
You are a cool dude. This would happen if a was near a snake
Papa Pepper gives me the feeling like:
Me too! I know the feeling!
THANKS!
Wow!!! Great work...
Thank you!
Wow @papa-pepper. You are a brave person to be able to catch and hold snakes like that. I am unable to even think about holding a snake, even if it is non-venomous. I am not a coward but something about snakes and the way they move gives me the shivers. Perhaps your example will make me shed my inhibitions and hold a snake some day. Let us see. Thanks.
I have posted a blog about an Orange Moon today . I request you to take a look if you have time and are interested. I would love to get your comments. Thanks
Thanks! Most snakes are not that bad.
haha @papa-pepper love your entertaining videos with wildlife! my last article is about the threat of plastic in our environment. i think your voice could attract more people to this topic to share the consciousness about this topic!
