i got this in an email this morning

Guess what was found just south of Jacksonville..
Near the St. Augustine outlet, in a new KB homes subdivision.
15 foot Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake. Largest ever caught on record.







After seeing this, I did a little research, and learned the following:

One bite from a snake this large contains enough venom to kill over 40 full grown men.

The head alone is larger than the hand of a normal sized man.

This snake was probablu alive when George H. W. Bush was President.

A bite from those fangs would equal being penetrated by two 1/4 inch screwdrivers.

A snake this size could easily swallow a 2 year-old child.

A snake this size has an approximately 5 and 1/2 foot accurate striking distance. (The distance for an average size Rattlesnake is about 2 feet)

Judging by the size of the snake, it is estimated to weigh over 170 pounds. Hw much do you weigh?
