I have seen several snakes in the water over the years, but only one that was poisonous, which was a cotton mouth. I am very familiar with water snakes since I practically grew up on lake Seminole in South Ga. I have eliminated several but all have been what is known as Northern Banded water snakes. They look very similiar to a copper head or rattler, but much smaller in body length and circumference, and are not poisonous. As was said, there was a reason the rattler was that far out. It is my understanding that all snakes are swimmers and some, naturally more skillful than others as to their natural habitat. It could have been the drought problem and it was just looking for water. But then, who knows? I agree in that it was very fortunate that you saw this guy before some skier met him personally.
