Yikes.

If that thing is still alive, the guy standing behind it is in danger
even with the mouth taped. That huge tail can whip around and break
both his legs.

Crikey!


The rattlesnakes bother me a whole lot more than the 'gater.

Yep! I've trekked canoed camped etc. all over the Florida swamps. All
I can say is that's a hell of a photoshop job!

The snakes are most likely a real photo. *They do next like that in the
winter for added warmth. *A bunch of years ago, a buddy's neighbor in
Pinole, CA had the wife complain about a bussing coming from under the
kitchen sink. *Was a large nest of rattlesnakes under the house below the
kitchen. *We have rattle snakes in the area. *The local hospital averages 9
snakebites a year. *Almost all involve beer and people out on Mines Rd. in
Livermore.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, but I've never ever seen them in that big of a concentration.
There is a Rattlesnake Roundup in a small town outside of Tampa, FL
and those swampbillies know rattlesnakes. They hardly ever come with
any more than a dozen to the roundup.
My wife's sister walks a path in a park near her house in Walnut Creek
that seems to see it's share of rattlers. Personally, and again, I'm a
woods exploring kind of person, I've never seen one in your area. I
know they are there, just never seen one, even on the slopes of Mt.
Diablo.
