Can you imagine how much venom that 'sucker' could deliver with one good bite???? Now imagine how much anti-venom it would take to counteract the venom? Lawdog

Pretty SOB ain't he?

I have been told that if you get hit by a big rattler it feels like a hard punch and will knock you down. I'll take there word for it.

The old hold-the-fish-out-pose helps beef him up to look like a six-footer. My guess is he's five feet in front of the guy, which makes the snake ..... too damn close if it was me.

He is still B-I-G!!!!!

My favorite all-time goofy pose was in a hunting magazine. The guy killed a huge Kodiak bear no doubt, but he sat so far behind the bear in the photo that his head was the same size as the end of the bear's nose.

It looked like Tinkerbell sitting on the bear's shoulder. It was a hoot.

Being a five footer is one thing it is the girth of the snake that impresses me. We commonly get 4 footers here in the rock quarries in the catskills but they are nowhere that big around.

Supposedly that snake was just shy of 8 feet in length. I don't know anything about diamondbacks but I can say this one is big. The man looks like he has a standard snake hook. I don't know how long those are but some of the other "snake" people here might be able to tell us.



The report also said the snake weighed 89 pounds, I have my doubts about that. I had an 8 foot python once and it weighed around 30 pounds and was well fed.

He may be five feet long but I doubt he weighed over ten pounds unless he was made out of lead.
