Yard guys came across this dude while weed eating around some bushes in front yard. Damage was done before I went outside.

Looks like a water moccasin to me.

Mother Freakin Cotton mouth.
Good Job.

My initial guess is something in the Nerodia genus, maybe a yellow-bellied watersnake.

I thought so but the diamond wasn't as pronounced as I thought would be. Makes sense though cause it had gnats around it instantly so they must've been on it already. It was still moving a little when I came out. They must've disposed of it before I could check for fangs because it was gone when I went back out after they were finished and left.

Not a cottonmouth. Not even poisonous.

You may be right. Could definitely be a yellow bellied water snake.

Harmless. Tell your Mexicans to hike up their skirts next time and vamanos.

Markings are too dry for me to see the pattern, but 100% non-venomous water snake.
ETA- My first guess would have been green water snake.

Definitely a water snake. Which kind is difficult to tell, given the fact that it needs to shed.

Cotton mouth. Good kill.

Nope, try again.

cottonmouths dont have yellow bellies. They all dark.
Posted on 6/20/15 at 8:53 pm to Str8volfan
Yes, clearly impossible for a cottonmouth to have a yellow belly...

Green Water Snake
Posted on 6/21/15 at 8:24 am to Marlo Stanfield
It's a baby anaconda. Due to global warming, they are advancing north from South America. We must reduce our carbon footprint.

Now that's a humongous green water snake. It must be at least 7ft. long!
Posted on 6/21/15 at 8:32 am to Marlo Stanfield
Definitely NOT a cottonmouth. It's one of the nerodia genus of water snakes, which is a very confusing one for me. There's a lot of them, and most of them look fairly similar. Not knowing which ones you have wherever you are, I think the yellow-bellied, and green water snake comments are both possibilites. Just looking at it, I'd guess green water snake, but I don't know where you found it.
