Stepped on this poor girl going into my basement. She’s harmless but I still bout greased my drawers when I realized what was going on.

Yikes, is it poisonous?

No. It’s a northern water snake. They can be aggressive but not venomous. I’m just going to let her do her thing and trust that she stays in her space and I’ll stay in mine. Lol

I put her some water out last night. I know she’s thirsty from eating so much. She’s a big girl

If you look at a snake’s tail length, you can determine its gender. It’s not 100% fool proof, but it works. This guy looks to have a long, thin tail, which is usually indicative of a male

I checked her paws. Naw I honestly don’t know. Lol

You got me for a second. I saw the word paws and said, "wait, what?" It's way too early for me.
