"Some snakes get tired while swimming and may look for a place to rest in the water, another common way to accidentally acquire a snake while boating or even laying on an inflatable in the water." Photo of a northern Pacific rattlesnake, a highly venomous species that can be found from central California to southwest Canada.."If left untreated [rattlesnake bites] can cause severe damage to the bitten extremity or even death," Young said."As long as you get to the hospital in decent time, modern medicine makes for a rather low fatality rate in bites."
Young also said that bites from snakes are extremely rare. Most snakes will only bite if they feel threatened, for example if they are handled or accidentally stepped on. This is why it is always best to call in a professional to help remove venomous snakes. To remove this particular rattlesnake, Young had to think outside the box, coaxing it out the same way it got in."After filling the interior [of the boat] with water, we were able to finally flush the rattlesnake out and ensure he wasn't the captain of the vessel any further," he said."This was one of the whackiest situations in quite a while."
