I photographed this juvenile Blotched Water Snake in a small, ornamental pond at the Elm Fork Nature Preserve in Carrollton. This juvenile Blotched Water Snake was very small. In these pictures look for minnows and a spider, as these will help you judge the snake’s actual size.

Notice the spider on the leaf at the top of the photograph. This juvenile Blotched Water Snake was very small.
