This is 15 foot Eastern Diamond back caught in or near St Augustine, FL. Supposedly the largest rattler ever seen.
I saw one years ago near the firing range at MacDill AFB, Tampa that was about 10 foot long but 15. Holy shit!
I wish there was something in the photo of the fangs that could be used to gauge their size.Reply

That's probably what the snake was thinking when he saw that cop.Reply

I don't know what humans taste like, so they might not make good sammiches. But, I've had rattlesnake, and that's grade A Oscar Mayer material <grin>Reply
