Re: Nueces Bay Aug 22-26
I don't think there are sea snakes in Texas, and this doesn't swim like any water snake I've encounter in Texas. My guess is it's a Shrimp Eel.

There are Sea Snakes they just aren't native. The colors aren't what I thought I saw though the lights in the water in the wee hours.. but yeah.
Colors looked like this..which would be logical given the heavy rains and washing a snake out into the bay..but IDK

The head and tail match this image

Tail seemed more paddle but the head and ability to grow to that size. It was pretty long.
Thanks for the help
