damn i hate snakes. i can't imagine what i'd do if i saw that thing in the wild. heart attack comes to mind tho.

 

[Pacfanweb]

Damn, that is a fat snake. Wonder how old it is?

For some reason snakes don't really scare me much...haven't seen all that many in the wild (though once a water moccasin slipped right in between my feet while I was wading in a stream as a child and I didn't even see it!) I've found a few big ones but nothing more than 5-7 feet in length.

But that one right there would scare the bejeezus out of me if I happened upon it!

 

[jcwagers]

I concur with jigga. I don't know how old it is but the rattle is HUGE so it has to be a pretty old snake.

jebus those guys have balls to hold that large of a snake in the air

I think that's a really old picture that's been floating around for a while. May be wrong, though. No article?

That snake is as heavy as me...

a couple years ago I was on a rock over looking part of the Black River in Missouri . . climbing it with the intention of jumping into a fairly deep part of the river (good fun).

I was wearing those river shoes . . mesh, really light, but enough to protect from rocks and the like. Anyway, they have those loops on the back . . . . . I went to move my right foot, and I couldn't, I looked down and a snake was in the process of going through my little hoop.

Couldn't ID the snake (fast ah heck), but we'd seen water mocassins in the area before, and lots of copperheads (though I doubt this one was a copperhead).

that snake > me

And they say that there is no legitimate reason to own an assault rifle.
