    Not sure if this is real or not. Big snake if it is.

    Yup, It's a well known fact that you shrink when you die because your muscles are no longer relaxed....

    I bet that guy grows some great tomatoes because his fertilizer seems quite healthy.

    What a tool. It seems there is a lack of people who can catch a snake without killing it, whether it be a truck attacking burm or this rattlesnake. Im sure there is someone in FL who can catch a live rattlesnake! a snake that size deserves respect, not killed by some redneck.

    There's already emails circulating saying it was 15 ft long. Sigh. This was just up the road from me too, and Jacksonville HAS a reptile rescue which I'm certain would have taken the snake out safely.

    Oh well, if it was on the news then it MUST be true.

    Nevermind the simple scientific fact that you do NOT shrink upon death.

    Some good little sheep out there.

    Re: Giant rattle snake
    Im gonna go with the famous forum statment

    didn't happen without pictures

    media is bad, i was just watching the top 10 show on animal planet and it was about giants. well they had the "49 foot retic" which we all know was nothing near that size but even animal planet shows are reporting bad info. thought they were atleast better than the news.

    People from Massachusets are really stupid too, they seem to generalize everything. I'm from Florida.

    People are stupid everywhere, no matter where you are or where you from.

    LOL, just reminded me of the old "It was a lot bigger when I was by myself and it was dark!"

    Yes, it shrinks considerably when you actually measure it with a yardstick.

    Sorry, I should have said 90% of the people I have met in my 20+ yrs here couldn't find there way out of a wet paper bag. Sorry if I offended any of you Florida people.

    Well, I like to start of by apologizing to every one I offended. Everybody was right and shame on me for saying people in Fl were stupid. That was wronge for me to presume, not everyone is stupid. I am sorry, and it wont happen again.
    I looked like a real ass, so please accept my apology.

    Last I checked Rattlers don't do well in relocation and usually die, so it was either this guy kills it, or nature does.

    I don't disagree, but being as big as that rattler was, she/he lived a good life. :)
