Got a question for you 'snakeologists'. I killed a 5 foot diamondback rattlesnake today in the middle of the lake. Yes, it was a rattlesnake-rattles and all. The oddest thing about the snake was he was floating like he was a piece of Styrofoam; body almost totally on top of the water, coiled with head and a foot of body raised and in the striking position. I have never seen a snake of any type float that high--shotgun took care of him, but if anyone knows more about why a rattlesnake would be in the middle of the lake, I'd like to know. Skiers were everywhere, lucky someone saw him before he bit someone.

Haven't seen a snake in a couple of months, but our family has seen three in the past couple of days-two died.
