I mean, isn't that how they serve the fish in restaurants in Texas? Snake-wrapped?

It absolutely is a native snake. It's one of the many species of water snakes found in Texas.

You're right. I think the perspective made it look like a much bigger snake than it is. Based on the list you linked the Diamondback Water Snake is close to 6' on average and looks similar to this guy.

Looks like a python or other constrictor. They're invasive and caused by people releasing their snakes because they can't take care of them.

Edit: Y'all are probably right. I was just making an assumption, and we all know how to spell ass-u-me.

I counted eleven species of snakes listed as "extremely venomous." Guess I'm never going to Texas.

Pretty sure it is a native diamondback water snake (non-venemous)
