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 probably 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. How much do you weigh? Awards

I guess that is to latch on to it so it won't get away. That is one big ass snake. Hard to beleive that it is a Rattle snake. Damn Wasn't there a movie several years ago about snakes in a new subdivision, they were coming out of an old mine or something. I hope they didn't kill it. That is one for the record books. Awards
