Obviously this Tom is in top shape, and this probably isn't his first encounter. He knows exactly how far to stay back. If the snake strikes his head will be on the ground.
That is if everything goes as planned.

Ha. They did the right thing. Let the snake make more snakes.

4 foot is FAR from “massive” for a diamondback rattler (which that one is)... When I was around 15yo or so, I killed a diamondback with 17 rattlers that was 5’11” (with a tree limb and a medium size stone).. and I am sure there are many out there larger
Four foot?! pfft :p

You rarely get to see these encounters. Best I get at my house is my dog chasing squirrels around.

Snakes shouldn’t be summarily destroyed just because people are ignorant about them. Might as well kill the feral cat if you want to kill the snake.
