Texas size rattler


Everything is BIGGER in TEXAS, right?

Then guess what was found just south of Canton TX Near a new KB homes subdivision.



A 7 1/2 foot Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake

SO - this critter didn't get that big just eatin a mouse now and then...more like a dog size meal!

7.3 feet- the angle it was being held up to the camera lens made it look longer. The snopes link was great.

Everything tastes like chicken. Even gulf shrimp will start tasting like chicken after they soak them in broth to get rid of the oil taste. :barf:

It tastes nothing like chicken to me. More like reptile. Damn fine food though. If I kill one near my home we always eat it and dry the skin in the sun with salt.

EASTERN diamondback in Texas:?:
These stout-bodied pit vipers generally live in the dry, pine flatwoods, sandy woodlands, and coastal scrub habitats from southern North Carolina to Florida and west to Louisiana.
