No way it's a dangerous snake.
It's a Striped Water Snake.

He’ll be happy to know that Norseman, his house backs onto a lake so a water snake makes sense.

The OP says, Good eyes, JW, thumbs up

Yup, that looks like the same type critter. Is his name Dave? 555 In my picture you see the same brown and black top markings and also the grey underside as this 2 meter creature was coiled up. It was fast in the water and fast out. Don't know about a striped water snake but I'd treat it as if it were a cobra.

As JW says. Vipers have big, flat, pointed heads.

Its not a Pit Viper.

But this is. Twisted Evil
