Is This Even Possible??

[Bob Denman]

A riding buddy sent me this oicture of a rattlesnake that was supposedly shot in Georgia... Over nine feet long, and 14 rattles!
Fact; or faked?

While the average size for an eastern diamondback is 5 feet, there have been snakes reported over 7 feet. About three years ago a farmer killed a 7'3" diamondback not far from where I live. The timber rattler is usually bigger. Biggest western diamond back I ever saw was 7' 10".

I have snake phobia. Sorry:banghead::banghead:

Anything is possible. Did the guy make a trip to the air compressor first? :roflblack:

If that's for real, someone is going to have a really nice snakeskin. Here come the belts, boot decorations, and wallets. Back in the day, we used to sell python skins for about $40 per meter--a big one would go for about $150 bucks.

Would make a nice seat cover for your new Spyder, Bob.

Enough would be left over to make a matching outfit.

I was thinking, "Belts and hatbands", for the entire crew! :2thumbs:

True----Keep your tent zipped up, they are always looking for a warm spot. There have been larger ones killed both here in Arizona and Texas.

Reminds me of the scene in the original Jaws; where Roy Scheider almost gets his arm snatched off by the shark at the back of the boat, and says, "I think we're gonna need a bigger boat!"

In this case it would be; "I think we need a bigger gun!". :joke:

It would have been much bigger, had the board he is holding it on, been longer . . . :roflblack:

If you look at most of these pictures, they are holding a dead snake with a stick or board or something like that. The freaking snake is dead, pick it up with your hands for crap sake. It sure ain't going to bite you.

On Animal Planet, they said a dead rattler could still invenomate up to four hours.

It was shot...
Put another one in it; disconnecting the brain from the spine, and you could dry your car with it... :thumbup:

FACT, FACT, FACT!! This snake was killed about 3 miles from where I lived last year, Midway,
Ga. (No that is not why I moved)
Also, I was in an antique store near Watkinsville, Ga. last year. The owner of the store, retired professor from the University of Ga, asked me where I was from. I said Glennville, Ga. His face lit up and he told me to follow him back to the front of the store. He then showed me a picture of a gentlemen holding a rattlesnake, on a stick I might add. It was killed in a cabbage patch near Glennville, Ga. The snake was almost 10 feet long with 17 rattles. The picture was several years old.
