So he went looking for a snake in his boat when he knew it was in there?

Hell no. Burn boat.

Would die of heart attack. Was playing in a golf tourney 3 years ago, and was over by a creek dipping my towel in the water, and had one fall of a limb right infront of me... I shanked the next 3 shots I was so stirred up.

No, he trailered the boat and forgot about it. Then the stink began as the snake rotted. After a few weeks, he investigated and found the dead snake.

I would hate to even guess. Pretty decent job done by DWF here. I would bet they don't list all, and check the maps for distribution.

I don't understand those distribution maps. The eastern diamondback only populates those three parishes in east central LA? And what's up with that diagonal running northwest where many snakes on the map aren't found. Can this be correct?

That's a pretty bright copperhead they found.

And when you lift a boat, try to stand behind or to the side of it. If you're in front and the opening is in front of you, and there's a snake, it's more likely to launch itself at you.

no, was actually flattered that I had made such an impression that I made the first page of that thread. Figured the avi had served its purpose and was time to retire it

Red River bottomland. You'll see upland/piney woods species absent there. Still plenty of snakes there though.

Frogging one night with uncle willywine, as we were pulling up to the bank, two drop out a tree in the boat. No biggie. Was watching a good 10' gator not more then 6' from us on the side of the boat.

I can see this plain as day. You boys might see another miracle if I was in that water.

While waiting to get my ride inspected recently, I read an old (80s?) article in a Louisiana magazine (cant recall the bame) that basically said there is no such thing as poisonous "water moccasins" in La. There are water snakes, grass snakes, and cottonmouths, and only the latter are poisonous and a danger to humans.
