@iloveemochicks123 Not true at all, completely false. Rattlesnakes DO live near water, right on a river or lake. I have even seen a rattlesnake swimming through a river on two occasions. The wetsern desert rivers are loaded with rattlers in both the riparian and upland areas.

that's a rattler isn't it

Not a water snake. It is a very large western terrestrial garter snake. (Thamnophis elegans)

Western Wyoming. It drains into the Snake River which then makes its way into Idaho.
