Looks like a Banded Water Snake

looks like a typical northern water snake. they're not venomous but do bite iand will poop and give off a nasty stench. i've been swimming in areas with many water snakes since i was a kid. they've pretty much looked like this one and i've been lucky enough never to have been bitten. ive had a couple swim near me, adn one chase after me in water but they normally avoided me.. splashing hard makes them go away too if in the water. thats helps for me anyway.

@RisenDevilz first of all i replied to the guy who said it was a mudsnake. But your dumb two. First of all telling by the head is not the best way becuase nonvenomous snakes make their head trianglar when threatened. 2nd of all this is in New Jersey. Cottonmouths and Broad-banded watersnakes don't live there. 3rd. cottonmouths facial pits and an odd floatation in Nerodias don't. 4th and finally cottonmouth dont have black bands on thier upper labials Nerodias do. You are Dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@snakestrike8 thats the best you got? Curious to exactly what it is thats makes you think I'm so stupid? The breeds I mentioned are an educated guess. The story I refer to is easily verifiable since it's made the television news in the "kentuckiana" area on at least 2 occasions. They occured at a the front 2 lakes of the Henryville State Forestry in Henryville Indiana just off highway 31S.

Sweet. Thanks for the info! I put up another video of a big black racer we found not too long ago this summer, check it out. It was like 4 feet long.

1) There is no such thing as a "red bellied water moccasin". There IS a red bellied water snake (harmless) but that's not what it is.
2) It only "looks like a water moccasin" if you've never acturally seen a moccasin (I have 8, and a few water snakes).
3) I can't see enough deetail in the video to be sure, but assuming from your other videos that you're in New Jersey, it's almost certainly a Northern Water Snake (Nerodia sipedon sipedon).
