I'm not too sure where everyone's pulling the 1/3 information but it might be an average for all snakes; I have personally witnessed a 3' water moccasin launching itself over 3' off a log and 6' rattlesnakes lunging a heck of a lot farther than 2'. I've also had a moccasin attack from about 10' up in a tree, but I guess we can't count that as a strike. He was moving like a freakin' ninja.

Just stay vigilant and you'll be fine.
