That’s a huge snake in AZ too! Normally don’t get that big in the southwest. I’ve killed a lot of them at my house but they’re usually between 3 1/2 to 4 feet.

I ran up against one just like this, I was remodeling an old farm house, he kinda went at me, (I didn’t know what it was, it was pitch black), I went to the bathroom, came back, saw him doubled up, got a nearby shovel to do him in.
We were both too sleepy to take each other out. But that’s what size he was.

That thing could very easily eat a dog or cat. I usually kill a few every summer but I didn't get out there looking for them this year. My heart would fail if I saw one that big! LOL

I’ve always wondered about these claims of “biggest”. When I was camping in NE Pennsylvania we saw a rattler that was way bigger than the 7’2” “record” . It was big enough that we figured it was eating the beavers — it looked like it had eaten a kid. We saw a lot of timberr rattlers up there, and it was “open season” when we kids found one, but I’ll always remember the reaction of the dads to this one — they wouldn’t let us within 30 ft of this one, and the top of that hill was off limits after that — through the next year!
I remember imagining an 8’x4’ sheet of plywood, and this thing was longer by at least a foot.

Right down the road from here! There is some prime habitat around here that is being cleared, the big ones have got to go somewhere.
I would have prefered to see this one go to the gator farm alive.

Yeah, you ever been to the Rattler Hunt in Noxen? We actually are more known for our pitvipers (mainly Copperheads) than rattlers. They’re absolutely vicious. I took one out with a .357 mag last Summer and some assclown called the cops. When the cops saw the snake, and the fact that my two nephews were playing nearby where the snake was (and logically where others would be) they let me off the hook.

You can legally use a firearm in PA for that purpose ,esp . in Noxen. You can shoot in your backyard with a capture box . What was the legal problem ?

Between 20 foot pythons and 7 foot rettlers I’m never going to get my wife to set foot near Florida.
