Found behind her house in a creek. 79 years old, the grandma not the snake.

Marmaduke, Arkansas

Something about the tail doesn't look right.

Let’s say she is 5’2” so that’s still a 5’+ foot snake. Wow.

It's a potato fork. And the tail looks weird to me because it is hanging in the air much closer to the camera but the angle kind of makes it look like it is on the ground and her shoes. It's much smaller than the perspective suggests.

My great grandma Pearl would head shoot snakes in the garden from her porch with an iron sighted pump .22. I was always amazed at how great her eyesight and marksmanship were up into her 80's. As a kid I asked her about her shooting and she said that when you lived through the Great Depression and had to shoot your dinner and could only afford a few rounds of .22 that you learned to shoot good.

So the water snake was doing what it’s supposed to do where it’s supposed to do it?

Ear corn rake in our country. Used to rake the corn out of the storage crib and into the elevator on the corn sheller. Makes a great garden tool to when cleaning off the dried vegetation from the previous year.
