I was thinking along those lines, especially concerning sea snakes /kraits but I don't really know too much about them. I mean do rattle snakes swim? As they all have keeled scales as far as I'm aware.
On a side note I prefer keeled scales, I find they feel better when I'm handling than with smooth scaled snakes.

Re: Keeled scales.
Also about the terrestrial locomotion, don't all snakes have smooth belly scales, so keeled scales surely wouldn't be a benefit to locomotion on land?
