Beautiful snake



[25thesnake]

nice rattlesnake

[mow1717]

don't tread on me.

[kookiemunster352]

The amount of rattles on rattlesnakes does not indicate how old it is because their rattlers grow each time they shed and some rattles fall of from time to time. I figured that was an interesting fun fact

[2011Velociraptor]

Beautiful rattlesnake!

[Gingifluff]

I am saving up the cash to get a pair of boots that are made from one of his cousins.

[TheKraitman]

@Gingifluff ok,your an ass

[SYMPOMETAL]

How can u tell how old they are? By how many rings they hv on their rattles?

[GearzyTV]

had to kill 1 the other day, it wouldn't get off the front porch so off with his head lol

[IAMPOPS58]

I live in central NC and hardly ever see a rattler anymore I got one my Dad and I killed in early 80's that has 12 rattles and a button.I am looking at it as I type this.

[donze52]

$35 a pound for the meat, $5 for the buttons, and 20 for the hide, not counting

they won't kill 6 head of cattle yearly on the ranch I work part time for.

What a beautiful snake!

[Strega222]

Beautiful specimen. Now if only we can outlaw Rattlesnake Roundups. More people die of Car crashes, Bee stings, Lightning strikes among other things than from Rattlesnake bites. Also, around 80% of rattlesnake fatalities were bitten when trying to kill the snake. So truly, the person deserved to die, he or she was doing the exact thing the snake was trying to prevent.

[owlcritic]

Ah,buddy,I love the EDB and all,,but while at the Center for Bio Toxins in College Station TX, I saw some of the hugeest atrox in captivity,one of which was every bit of 6.5 feet,Also seen some pretty big Canebreaks in GA.and I personaly know of one canebreak exceeding 6',a world recordIn fact,the possibility of finding an EDR,over 5' today with habitat destruction and just wanton killing and stupidity,would be pretty rare

[xsnakemandougx]

dont kid your self each one can lay you up lol(i beleive edb are one of the most beautiful animals on the planet though lol)

[TheKraitman]

@CrosslegLuke Yes easterns roc,but I personaly had 2 "classic" westerns at 5.5 feet,and they were pretty impressive.and will kill you just as quick.
