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?

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.

This guy came in with one he killed at the public golf course. He stood on the tail gate of his pickup truck and held it by the tail over his head and the snakes head was dragging the ground.
