Hi,

This snake was at Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge in December -13.
Can anyone help with the ID?

That's a mangrove it's in, hence brackish water. Although the Florida Green Watersnake (Nerodia floridana) occasionally ventures into brackish water it has shorter, blunter head. The pattern and relatively slender head id it as a Mangrove Saltmarsh Snake (N. clarkii compressicauda).
