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.

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

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>

Saw one about 8' long from the balcony of my daughters apt. in Tampa last year, that was big enough and close enough for me.
