They are native to France, and are called Viperine snakes because they look very similar to vipers, especially in threat displays, head shape (when threatened), and color schemes.

Cool. That Nerodia/Natrix look is unmistakable. And cool that you'd know they're distant relatives of Thamnophis.
I'll admit that I have a psuedo fascination with watersnakes, especially their temperaments and behavior. And I have a friend that is obsessed with all things Thamnophis. She is the one that spotted it at the herp show.
Ok, that leaves me with Smooth Earth Snake (Virginia valeriae elegans)?

Correct scientific name. Western Smooth Earth Snake. Excellent. They abound in garden district neighborhoods of the larger cities throughout Louisiana. Although I never even saw one until I was 30. I thought it was a rarity, until I had caught ten by noon one balmy March morning.
