It is a watersnake in the genus Nerodia without a doubt, what is your area specifically? I can't tell the exact species without more locale info.

but it is harmless, although it would probably musk you if you tried to grab it.

That is fucking boring. Hug it, OP. Make amends for all the transgressions previous ARFCOMers have perpetrated on the snake world.

I always called them Sidewall wigglers.

Not an ARFCOM option.

You ALWAYS have to muck around with SOMETHING around here.

Those used to be genus Natrix, and the ones we have up here are mean as hell. (We have what used to be Natrix sipedon.)

I don't know about yours.

What he said. They change coloration/pattern with locale so much that they can be difficult for even an expert to identify, but it is indeed a harmless water snake.

In for the ignorant little girls holding their skirts up.

Yup. Their Southern cousins like showing off their red colors more. Most likely a younger snake under the age of 3 as they loose their color and turn more black with age. They like to be held OP, give him a kiss.

Water snake is the correct answer, harmless.
