This is a photograph I took of a Juvenile Diamondback Water Snake. These are harmless, but very aggressive. They will bite when provoked.

Do you have to put some antibiotic ointment on a bite?

That looks similar to the brown water snake we have around here. Some people call them water rattlers because they resemble a rattlesnake, but to me they more resemble the cottonmouth. They, like the snake in the photo, are not venomous but they are very aggressive and will bite.

I do not like snakes, I do not kill them, but I let them alone.
