Nerodia sipedon pleuralis, the midland water snake, a subspecies of the common watersnake (Nerodia sipedon), is a nonvenomous natricine snake, which is endemic to North America. [ 5 ] [ 2 ] Geographic range
Nocturnal foraging has been observed in the southern part of the range, and after hot, humid summer days in the northern sector. Prey species are caught in water and on land, often far from wetlands. The snakes find food in the woods after the late spring rains, especially if there is a high water table, cover items and chimney crayfish burrows.
The common watersnake is common over most of its range and is frequently seen basking on stream banks, from which it dives into the water at the slightest disturbance. "Water snakes are highly aquatic, spending nearly all their time either on the surface of the water or on substrate just above or beside the water". [24]
