Thanks for the help with the identity. @Mark

Check out http://www.sc.audubon.org/education/image_cottonmouth.htm for images of an Eastern Cottonmouth. The red bands are not present on a cottonmouth, but the shape of the head is the easiest way to identify the venomous cottonmouth.

I looked it up too and it looks like a cottonmouth. I found one that looks just like it not too long ago dead on a sidewalk downtown. I looked it up too and it looks like a cottonmouth.
