Kenny WilliamSon/drums sent several Emails this week, thanks Kenny for everything. This one caught my eye.... a really ickie snake and amazing story.
---------------------------
THIS IS NOT A PYTHON!
This is a 7' 3" Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake - the largest ever caught on record was 8'. This snake was found Near the St. Augustine outlet, in a new KB homes subdivision just south ofJacksonville, FL.
A little research revealed the following:
A bite from those fangs would comparable to being stabbed by two curved, 1/4 inch diameter screwdrivers.
The knife being used to draw out the fangs for the bottom picture has a blade around 4 inches long.
Notice the girth of this snake as compared to the cop's leg in the first picture (and he is not a small man).
This snake has probably been alive since George Bush Sr. was President.
Now just ask yourself these questions: What has this snake been feeding on and where are its offspring?
