Can anyone identify this snake? i looked through everything i could find on snakes of CT. The only one that even comes close is a northern water snake, but he was in my garden today and in my shrubs the other day nowhere near water. He is about 30-36 inches long, very fat and a nearly triangular leathery flat head. Matt captured him in a bucket and we released him in our pond. He went straight to the bottom and swam away. Beautiful specimen.
