Concho Watersnake vs. Plain-bellied Watersnake

Both live along the Colorado and Concho rivers and their reservoirs. A: Grey to light brown with four rows of small, alternating dark spots in the Concho Watersnake; plain brown to grey; adults have no clear pattern in the Plain-bellied Watersnake. B: Small: 14 to 32 in in the Concho Watersnake; bigger: to 48 in or more in the Plain-bellied Watersnake. Both have plain orange-red to yellow bellies; the Plain-bellied Watersnake's young are blotched, so look at the size and the spots.
