Welcome to season 3 snakes of Florida. I'm sorry to say it but this season is going to be quite short compared to my other seasons. I simply just didn't get see very much while I was in Florida because it was so dry. I saw most of the common species that occur throughout the state but certainly none of the less common ones. Hopefully we can change that in the future. Anyway, the brown water snake is one of Florida's most common water snakes and I was really hoping to see one while I was here, and they were prolific down here in the everglades.
