I just thought it was amazing that a snake this size can be found in a very residential area.
It is amazing. I agree there. Its unusual to ever find one quite so big. There have even been a couple rattle snakes found in the city of Chicago in the last 10 years. Nothing that big though. I just hate that they photograph these animals in a way to make them appear alot bigger. Imagine all the people that saw those pictures who are deathly afraid of snakes. They are thinking oh man now we have giant rattle snakes to worry about.

If they killed the poor thing they should have taken the pictures with one of those people holding it. The News... Everything must be glorified. Bleh.
