    Default Check This Out


    THIS IS NOT A PYTHON!


    This is a 15 foot Western Diamondback
    rattlesnake - the largest ever caught on record,


    This snake was found Near the St. Augustine
    outlet, in a new KB homes subdivision just south of
    Mesa Az.


    A little research revealed the following:


    One bite from a snake of this size would contain enough venom to
    kill over 40 full grown men.


    The head of this snake alone is larger than the hand of a
    normal sized man.


    A bite from those fangs would be 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 6 inches long.

    This snake is estimated to have weighed over 170 pounds.
    (How much do you weigh?)


    Notice the girth of this snake as compared to the cop's
    leg in the first picture (and he is not a small man).

    A snake of this size could easily swallow a 2 year-old
    child and dogs, pigs, etc).


    A snake this size has an approximately 5 1/2 foot
    accurate striking distance.
    (The distance for an average size rattlesnake
    is about 2 feet . )


    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?

    I have seen this many times before. To the best of my knowldge this is a hoax, but I will try to look it up on SNOOPES.

    Here is the link snopes.com: 15-Foot Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake You can tell from the picture that he is holding the snake very close to the camera of this has been photo-shopped. This same snake was also caught in Floridia where it was an Eastern Diamond back....go figure ?

    Big snake even if they are long arming it. I do the same with my crappie pictures. But that frog gig has probably three inch prongs and you ain't gonna pick up a 170 lb snake on an aluminum pole neither.
