I think the honest answer it it has gotten lost in the history of why it was really named Rattlesnake, camp guy. I have always heard both that there were rattlesnakes there and that it is because of the shape of the island. The only thing I do know for sure is that the rattlesnake at the Libby is not from Rattlesnake Island. When I was young there was no rattlesnake at all in the museum and then this one was found by my uncle as I said and the museum took it. I remember it was a big deal-we all went to look at it both at my uncle's house and then in the museum.
