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

Re: Giant rattle snake
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.

I hate to say this, but people in Florida are real stupid. I'm from Mass.

Re: Giant rattle snake
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.

Re: Giant rattle snake
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.

Re: Giant rattle snake
People are stupid everywhere, no matter where you are or where you from.

Re: Giant rattle snake
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.

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.

Re: Giant rattle snake
Hey, I happen to LIKE wet paper bags.
*grins* I didn't take offense, I just figured I was the exception that proves the rule, skewing the grade curve!
Naw..

Re: Giant rattle snake
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. :)
