He was on the edge of an Indiana farm pond sunning himself on this rock. Maybe 20-24" long.

I'd suggest looking up some of the common water snakes for your area

It doesn't appear to be a poisonous variety

If it was within 25' of water, that automatically makes it a water mocassin.

Blotched Water Snake - not sure they go that far north though.

Is that another snake's head coming up from the lower right corner or just a stick? Photo quality makes any skin patterns difficult to sort out.
