    This baby was in my swimming pool this morning and freaked me out. I live in SE Alabama. I've got two dogs who play outside and love to swim. I'm afraid it's venomous, but I have no idea. I also wonder if I should expect mama and more babies to be in my yard somewhere? Just looking for some expertise.... Thanks for the help.

    Oh, and evidently it was able to get itself out of the pool.

    it's a water snake... its harmless, you and your pets have nothing to worry about.

    do you live near a natural body of water?

    Thanks! I feel better now. There are some small ponds nearby.
