The Old Lady got a dog sitting job. The owner of the dogs had said she’d seen a snake in the fish pond out back, and that she thought it might be a cottonmouth (also known as water moccasin), a deadly snake indigenous to Georgia.
So the very first time the Old Lady took Shorty the Jack Russell Terrorist out the front door, THERE was the snake in plain view on the front lawn! It’s a big one, about three feet long, and very thick (cottonmouths are often described as “fat” snakes).
Well, Shorty got hustled right back inside.
The Old Lady hustled back out for a better look.
She stood on the porch for awhile, looking at the snake which was looking at her. Eyeball to eyeball with about six feet between them and close enough, the Old Lady was thinking. She could not make out the shape of the head since it was facing her.
The snake slithered under some bushes and vanished as snakes are wont to do.
The dogs did get walked (out the back door) and when the Old Lady came out front to get in her truck to go to work, the snake peeked out at her from his hiding place inside a pipe under the bushes. The Old Lady said “Bless you, Mr. Snake, for showing yourself to remind me to be extra careful in this yard.” To which the snake made no reply.
After work, the Old Lady was walking Fluffy the French Bulldog (whose owner is convinced that she is a Boston Terrier but we’re not telling her she’s wrong). There was a great commotion in the fish pond, and the Old Lady saw the snake thrashing and splashing in there with the big white koi fish in its jaws! As she watched, the snake lifted the entire fish (which must weigh at least two pounds) COMPLETELY out of the water, a good six inches into the air! What a sight! But the fish was too big for the snake to swallow, so he let it go and vanished under some rocks.

But she also saw the white koi which was not only still alive but seemed unfazed by the snake.
That was when she knew for sure that this is NOT a cottonmouth. If he was a deadly snake, the fish would have died from the bite. Probably a Florida Banded Water Snake, a neighbor told her.
The Old Lady is much relieved, and very grateful; grateful for having witnessed with her own eyes the failed assault on the fish which proved to her that the snake is not harmful to her or the little dogs, and grateful for having been granted a view of nature in the raw that she will never forget.

The only pictures of the snake… sorry for the poor quality, the photographer is being thrown in the fishpond as punishment:
