Description: Q: This snake was found on the Ozark Arkansas power plant dam sunning itself. Is it a cottonmouth that lost some of it's tail?
A: No. The head is a dead giveaway. This is a watersnake, which is the genus Nerodia. If you Google the word "Nerodia", you will see what the heads of watersnakes look like. Later, you can Google "cottonmouth" and compare them.
