Not nearly as big as the one in John's link but Mrs.E. came home to our house in Jupiter, FL one day to find a 4 foot diamond backed rattle snake coiled up in the entrance to our house. It's the reason I bought a shotgun. Also had those "pygmy" rattle snakes usually as nests in brush and construction debris. You need more black snakes. They tend to run the rattlesnakes off. A black snake will eat a rattlesnake. http://gfretwell.com/wildlife/Blacksnake2.jpg That's OK. You can keep all your rattlesnakes, black snakes,fire ants and wild boar down there. :-)We have rattlesnakes up here but they are very rarely seen. The"Blue Hills Reservation" here used to be infested with them.-- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG.https://www.avg.com

Probably still is. I have never seen a live rattler in the wild in
florida. I think i might have seen a flat pigmy on the road the
other day judging by its shape. There's some pretty big black
snakes around here. I measured one shed skin at 4 feet. They
don't bother me much as long as there is some distance between
us.
