Wait! There's more to the crawdad story! We also spotted snakes below the lower dam but just two. The big one was a plain-bellied watersnake (Nerodia erythrogaster). Turns out the younger snake was the same species. It was entertaining to watch the crawdads semi-interact with the snakes. James said he saw one crawdad reach out and pinch the bigger snake's tail. I missed that! Overall, both snakes ignored the crawdads.
