I dont go by the eyes..(you crazy? I never get close enough to look into their eyes..

Yep ~ looks like a northern water snake to me too. Not venomous but they have a nasty attitude and if they bite you, the wound will bleed a lot due to the anticoagulant in their saliva.

Could always call billy the exterminator.

To me she looks like a Northern red bellied mattress hatcher looking for a place to lay and incubate her eggs. Is the bedroom within easy access from the cellar way?
