Supersized Rattle Snake.

[Mr. Dean]

My Mom sent this to me. It supposedly came from southern Sask, near my Great Grandparents old farm, last fall.

Is said to be 9' 1" long and weigh in @ 87#'s :eek:
Anyone else seen this and what is your version of the story?

I think picture perspective(spelling) is a wonderful thing, seen it used many times on fish to make them look bigger. The loop pole is pointed directly towards the camera. Just my two cents.

I still wouldn't want to meet that critter alive. It gives me the willy's just looking at the picture.

The critter was caught at Katepwa Lake, about an hour out of Regina. The photo is said to be in the Melville Hearald, last fall.

I'm a photo nut. Compare the snake to the handle of the tool being used - It's a BIG snake. Python porportions. You're hard-pressed to find one much thicker that a heater hose. This one is bigger than a rad hose.

I agree with Mr. Dean - that's one big reptile! I also don't think thst gaters or snakeguard wrappings on your legs are gonna keep that mutha from gettin' ya.........he looks capable of reachin' up an bitin' yer pecker off!

I got that email last year, said it was Texas. Then another said Eastern Oregon........ just another case of internet legend.

[Mr. Dean]

I did the research, the story is bunk. It is infact a Western Diamondback, indigenous only to the southern US.

None-the-less,,, IMPRESSIVE.

I hate snakes , glad that monster is dead.

Im I the only one that giggles a little every time someone says Regina? :-D

[Caveman]

Once coming back from a family re-union (wife's side) in Sask., I said to my wife, " guess what's the best thing about Sask,.... seeing it in my rear view mirror":lol: :lol:

[Schmaus]

Nope, and I get "that look" from the Mrs. every time ... you know the one .. that "are you ever going to grow up look?", the same one in fact that I get when ever I embellish a fart. Not that I'm implying that Vagin ... I mean Regina and farts are on par with one another ....

:lol:I don't think him being so far away was to make the snake look bigger in a photo......I think it was too keep that sucker as far away from him as possible:lol:

Biggest Rattlesnakes in NA come for the south Eastern US. Eastern Diamond Backs, I believe the record is pushing 8 ft and close to 80 lbs. I have a friend that has a five footer mounted inside a coffee table. you can put a MacIntosh apple inside it's mouth. All snakes in BC are protected species.

[willhunt]

well being from the great state of alabama i have seen my share of 6 footers stuffed and plenty of 6foot skins but im more feard of gators. since they drag u floppin and screamin into the river and dround you then let your body rot untill they can pull tender maggot infested chunks from your person. there aint no anti venom for that.

I can hear the "rhymes with Regina" jokes from here!
