Rattlesnakes can swim!

A snake wrangler was called to capture a rattlesnake in a resident’s back yard. Marissa Maki of Rattlesnake Solutions said the western diamondback rattlesnake was taking a drink from the home’s backyard swimming pool when she arrived. She decided to let the snake swim for a while and tire itself out. “I’ve seen videos of rattlesnakes swimming and just find it funny, so when it flipped in the pool, I was pretty excited to witness it first-hand.” She captured the snake with a pair of tongs when it attempted to climb out of the water.
