I do not recommend this way to try to identify if a snake is venomous or non-venomous... but, most of time, the only snakes that you are likely to find in water, are water snakes and water moccasins (Cottonmouths). Normally the water moccasins swim with their body on the surface of the water, while the water snakes swim with their body under the water. So most the time if you see a snake with its whole body surfing the water, then its venomous, and non-venomous it its under water. That is Most of the time... but not all the time. I hope this helps. God Bless!

I have never heard this before. Is there any truth to the statement? Thanks for your help.
