Okay, so I suck at photography. Normally I take a pretty good picture but snakes scare the shit out of me. I had no intentions of getting any closer to the bastard.
I'm 80% sure of the identity. When I kill the bastard and cut off its head I'll know for sure.
Kudos to Dan. Banded water snake. This one is usually confused with the cotton mouth. The body shapes are the same, that's what threw me initially. The head is also slightly triangle shaped. The rat was most likely constricted, as this snake is non-venomous. That would jive with the labored breathing and such.
This is what he looked like to me at 630 this morning. Very similar to a cotton mouth. I have killed a couple of those around the house.
