This weekend we went to Wisconsin with Megan and Christian. Little Man enjoyed large expanses of hardwood floors to crawl upon. There was also a friendly Black Lab named Bear, so I spent a lot of the weekend like Lucy avoiding dog germs, but Joel and Dex were in heaven. On Saturday we went for a hike in the state park and came across this snake. Anyone know what kind it is?
The rest of the weekend was pretty peaceful, but Joel did get caught in a speeding trap on the way home. F'in Cheeseheads. (Did I really just write "F'in"?)

Dex is so cute!!!
OK, I spent a little time on google and after many comparisons, I think it's a water moccasin.
Another possibility is some species of gopher snake, but the head shape seems all wrong.
I think it was a Western Fox snake.

It's either a Boa or the thing that ate Milwaukee from its size.
I think Dex looks angelic...the snake on the other hand....I think it is a bullsnake,because of the triangular head. This is from your link:

I found this link that wants you to report the sighting if you think it is a bullsnake.
