Subject:   snake on floating dock

When we first got our cabin...we had a little snake issue. My 3 little girls had been swimming a good bit off the dock. I got up early one morning for a boat ride...as I stepped over to the floating dock I noticed a rust colored snake sunbathing on the steps to the water.

The snake saw me and plunged into the water...I figured all was well and the snake was gone. I took my boat ride and when I got back the snake was in the same exact place. I knew I had a problem.

I had the snake pinned down for a second on the steps with paddle..but the paddle slipped and the snake slid to its apparent home on the styrofoam floats under the floating dock.

So I proceeded to go on a four hour battle with the thing. I had to peer through the slats of the dock to find it..and then try to stab it. One of us was going to down that day...and I didn't want it to be me! I won.

It was either a brown water snake (apparently common at lake martin)...or a copperhead. I took pictures and emailed them around but no one could tell me for sure. I guess they look alike.

Anyone else ever have a snake under your floating dock?
