Midland Water Snake

Wikipedia: Anteriorly, it has a pattern of dark crossbands on a light ground color. Posteriorly, the crossbands are replaced by three rows of alternating squarish blotches. The light spaces between the crossbands or blotches are wider than the dark markings. On the belly, the crescent-shaped markings on the ventrals tend to form two stripe-like series. The maximum recorded total length for this subspecies is 131 cm (51.5 inches). However, most adults are 56-102 cm (22-40 inches) in total length.
