Rattlesnake... IN West Bay

I ran across a rattlesnake in Chocolate last year swimming in open water and a few weeks ago saw a 4-5 ft one sunning on a bank in the channel going into Lost lake.

Several years ago my dad and I had a water mocasson fall into our boat in Halls Bayou. Scared the hell out of us until we got it out!

I have seen several snakes while drifting in Chocolate and one large sucker at our bay house recently. They were not rattlers, but I am still a firm believer a good snake is a dead one! BTW, don't tell my wife I said that because is use to have 2 boas and loves all animals.

Funniest thing. After the hurricane the donkeys were out and chasing the coyotes. hahahaha

This is another reason why Sadie (my lab) is given the rattle snake vaccine twice per year and also a booster before hunting season. You never know when a Sand Rattler will bite...

Remember to keep Benadryl on the boat especially if your out in the marsh with your dog.

Thats pretty wild! I wonder what they did with the snake?

Thanks to rwasaff for providing these photos...

Here is the original e-mail he CC'd me on:

"I was cruising near MUD cut next to a bunch a wade fisherman and come across this guy……How would you like to be out wading and come back to your boat with this guy in it. This guy wanted in the boat."
