Get a gander at this huge eastern diamondback rattlesnake. Reportedly the largest ever recorded.
It’s hard to tell from the photos if they killed this sucker. It would be a shame to kill such a magnificent creature. Although, I usually follow the philosophy that the only good snake is a dead snake — you know — the kind you see in jars of formaldehyde.
I’d like to to see the rattle on this one. Anyone have additional photos?

On newsjacksonville.com the snake was 7 foot 3 inches long.
Where is a picture of the rattle?
A snake that big could definitely ruin your day !
They killed it…
“Brandon Booth, the A-1 Trapper Man, told Action News he’s seen snakes like that before.
Booth killed the snake and gave it to a local man, who will use its skin to make sheaths for knives.”

It’s not actually as big as it was reported. They’re forcing the perspective of the actual snake by having someone a few feet behind it making it look huge when it’s probably really only 5 or 6 feet. They do this with anything scary…
