Field herping, tobermory Ontario style!

The new wife and I are on our honeymoon and went on a little boat tour in Tobermory Ontario. We stopped on an island and were sitting on a rock and another family said "watch out for the snake!". Naturally I chased it down to see what it is. A local said it was a milk snake. Enjoy the pics.

Neat! thanks for sharing!

Cool find! How large/isolated is the island?

Wow, your wife looks really young in that first picture. :D

Actually what you have in your hand there is a northern water snake. I used to live in Michigan and would catch them all the time. Brings back memories. Thanks for sharing.

Lol. That's the family that warned us a big scary snake was comming for us. I thought it may be a water snake but I just trusted a local. It seemed to be in she'd so maybe that was contributing to the lightness. That and the rocks there were fairly light.

The island is about a half hour by boat off the mainland. It's called flowerpot island because it has 2 of these rock formations:
