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 sizewould 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 inche 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?

St Johns county is in Florida. I'll bet the last pic is from a different snake. I figured out the cross streets when I got this email a while back and pulled it up on street view.

Here you go.

Researched google. Story is fiction.


The Truth:
This tale is fiction. A public information officer with the St. Johns County Sheriff's department told TruthOrFiction.com that there was an incident involving a large Eastern diamondback rattlesnake in July 2009 but the snake was 7'3" in length.
The photos, taken by an unidentified civilian, were an unintentional trick of camera perspective. The captured snake was closer to the photographer than the law enforcement officer shown in the background. This made the venomous reptile appear larger than life.

Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes in the wild have been known to grow up to 8' in length.

The Western diamondbacked rattlesnake is indigenous to Arizona but they have been known to live 15 to 20 years in captivity and are 3 to 5 feet in average length but have a few of these rattlers have been known to grow up to 7 feet in length.

And yes, Virginia, rattlesnakes CAN get very goddamn big. Not very often though, they have to dodge a lotta rednecks to survive that long.

[Ah Pook]

Snopes has a couple of snake stories.

It's all about perspective.

Sorry, didn't realize this was an old e-mail, I hadn't seen it before so "my blunder". Also didn't realize it is a supposed hoax. Oh, and piss on you for hating on my cat too. That is all.

[Ah Pook]

I didn't hate on your cat but thanks all the same.

Oh, so the diamondback was only 7'3". That makes me feel a lot better. [Help]
