Well make up your mind!

I’d go banded over broadbanded on that one.

...though those bands do look a little broad.

All we have here are broad, so I have never seen a true banded. This one looks different than ours.

Yeah I was wondering about location for that reason. Definitely looks different than any broadband pattern I’ve seen.

Well....are we referring to the light colors being the broad band or the dark colors being the broad band?

Interesting question. The snake in this youtube videolooks like the broad banded water snakes we have.

Amazing how much their color/pattern can vary. All of these are not only broadbands, but all from the same location on the same day.

Yeah 4 & 5 do have that cottonmouth look until you look at the head and eyes. Most people probably wouldn't risk it if it came down to it.

Strangest pattern and color I’ve seen was this one I caught at night while shining for muds. Saw him on a little island in the swamp and almost ended up going unintentionally swimming for him - but I had to get to it to see what in the hell it was. Disappointed when I grabbed him and saw that red belly.
