Snopes seeems to have purged their old files but the snake picture was
bouncing around Email boxes several years ago. Snopes said they were
western rattlesnakes, not the eastern ones we have in Florida and I
seem to remember the picture was identified as coming from Texas.
The gator was Florida somewhere but not Orlando airport. I think it
was FPL guys


I didn't check out the pics through Snopes, and they certainly could be
fake/phony.
They were attributed to Florida Power and Light and referenced construction
at
Orlando airport.

Probably a hoax, but still impressive.

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.

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.

That's about the size of the one that was attacked and killed by the eight
footer that lived in the pond behind our house in Jupiter. I'll never
forget that. Like watching a live version of National Geographic.

I hate snakes. I know they have a purpose in the eco system, but I
still hate snakes.

Seriously.
