Spot the alligator or snake

In the shadow of a big tree in Fishing Pond No. 1 at Sheldon Lake State Park, an alligator lurks.
There it is.

It's always fun to pause at the small pond along the walkway to the fishing ponds at Sheldon Lake State Park & Learning Center to look for critters.

You can almost always spot several frogs/toads and at least one snake. Which makes me wonder how many elusive critters I don't see.

One of three snakes in the little pond with the alligator head sculpture and warning sign. This looks like a Broad-banded water snake.
Ribbon snake.
Another Broad-banded water snake. A buddy also spotted a "big snake" that vamoosed before I could get to the other side of the pond to snap a pic with my smartphone.
