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.

Black snakes tend to run my wife off for sure. :-) Next time I have
to scrape her off the ceiling I'll tell her how they're keeping us
safe from rattle snakes.

I am sorta ok if I *know* there's a snake around but I sure don't
like surprises.

I recall coming home to our house in Jupiter and opening the
garage door. I thought I saw a movement under my wife's car
but didn't pay attention until one of those black snake suckers
came slithering out towards me. When needed, I can do 0-60 in
about 1,5 seconds flat .... on foot.

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.

I have been here 35 years and I never even heard of anyone seeing one
around here. We are lousy with black snakes tho. I have the ladies in
my family desensitized to them and nobody freaks.

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.
