A quick look at the stairs to the water.
Nobody I know will go down there without looking. Actually nobody wants to go down there at all.
I believe they are Brown Water Snakes, just a few locals.
Beidler Forest, Four Hole Swamp, South Carolina.

Hey Ted, I used Google Lens on my phone to check out the snake on my computer screen, and indeed, it looks like it’s a brown water snake. Even though they’re non-venomous, if I were to stroll around your walking area, I’d probably jump out of my skin with every step! Your area is stunning, but it sure gives me the heebie-jeebies!
😂😂, that snake is one to always be aware of. It’s harmless, but it looks a little like a Cottonmouth at times. The Cottonmouth is a viper, and very toxic. Of course we have plenty of those too.
I was afraid you were going to say that.
😂🤣😂
Creepy, I hate snakes. I don’t photograph them, I run from them.
😂. My wife was like that. Maine is pretty far north, no snake’s where she was from. Of course we had been here for a total of 2 weeks and she found a small rattlesnake by the side door. 😵💫. After a while she came around. Considering we bump into 10 foot alligators often a snake is a small thing 😂😂
Wow! Two-for-one. Lucky find (though many people won’t feel that way about 2 snakes in their path!). You’re correct on the ID, Nerodia tasxispilota Brown Watersnake.
One I try to be very sure of my ID. 😁.
