Nerodia

Would you mind sharing how you figured it out?

To be completely honest, I lucked out on this because I had a very similar picture in my binder. I used http://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Nerodia/pictures/ and had the second picture, and I figured they were the same (although now that I see the picture close-up, they look quite different ).


1. What is the family and genus (if applicable)?
2. How many marginal scutes?
3. What is its diet composed of?
4. What is its typical egg clutch size?
