Water snake. Look at the lines on the jaw. Non venomous

Clearly an albino massacre snek.

OT but do those rat traps actually work? I have a whole coven of rats underneath my backyard shed and this set up would be great if it worked.

Are you telling me that you opened a rat trap, saw a snake that large, and didn't immediately perish?!

Not a snake fan. Most that I come across wind up dead.

Definitely a water snake. I think a plain bellied, but kind of tough to tell from this picture. He's dark.

Save him, he's worth 10 of those rat traps and will never bother you.
