A five-foot long venomous snake commonly known as a water moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorus) suns itself on a branch in Falcon Lake on the Texas-Mexico border south of San Antonio. A haven for bass fishermen, Falcon Lake has seen a rise in confrontations between alleged Mexican drug cartel operatives and fishermen since the killing of a citizen on the Mexican side in 2010.
