Ironically, the right people were to handle the situation
You're enjoying your summer stay in Lake George. Everything is perfect. Warm weather, beautiful conditions on the lake. Then, you're traumatized as a rattlesnake slithers across the floor of your hotel lobby.
Ok, maybe it wasn't that dramatic, but a rattler across the hotel floor isn't something you see everyday, but it recently happened at a Lake George hotel.
As luck would have it, ENCON officers Thibodeau and Kelley were nearby attending a training course on the safe handling of rattlesnakes. When the call came in, they were able to find trap the snake - and peace was restored to the hotel.
The DEC says the retile is a timber rattlesnake, which is common in the Lake George area.
