Briar you are right, probably not a good idea to post it on here. They are not endangered here & any venomous snake that climbs in the boat with me is going to be short lived.
  Rattlers are great swimmers & swim like a cottonmouth with there body on top of the water with their head held high. Down in the marsh where I hunt & all around La. they are plentiful. When I lived in Fla., it was not uncommon to see pics. of diamondbacks swimming at the beach.
