Long time no see but I have been busy. However, i came across a little critter and I want a positive ID.

He came up on my foot the other night while I was fishing and let me tell you, in the dark I was pretty sure I had a cottonmouth on my hands. Color me terrified(I was in shorts and flipflops). Thankfully he moved on and I got some pics.

Looking back though he really doesn't look all that much like a Cottonmouth. I was thinking maybe some kind of water snake, maybe a banded. It could be a moccasin i suppose but the head and body are a little off and he was about 1.5-2ft long.
