I believe that is the smallest EDB I have ever seen. You are blessed to see these endangered reptiles up close and personal. The rest of us have to watch your videos. Lol!
I was lucky enough to see 3 new born Broad Band water snakes this month. IMO the baby snakes are sometimes even more striking then adult snakes. The markings and color is always more intense and vibrant in the baby snakes.
For sure..makes it challenging id’ing them when they look so different from adults, for me anyways😆. As for the EDBs, they look exactly the same start to finish. Their pattern is a perfect camo, guess no reason to mess with it. The babies run into problems getting caught out in the open where they stand out easily. From what I’ve observed they’re not exactly proactive in defending themselves, no wonder most end up easy prey.
