“I think you are supposed to let those play through.”
Yes, I think you’re right. I was running once, and there was one that big across the trail in front of me - sunning. As I approached he tilted his head to look at me, and I just stopped, turned around, and took a different route.

Well played, Sir. Well played indeed.

I’m sorry for all the snake lovers out there, but if I have a bag of clubs, the next foursome will not have a 20’ give me.I hear you.

I asked a snake “what’s 2 + 2? “ He said “3”. I knew right then he wasn’t an adder.Groan....

FL? I don’t think it was that unusual at all.

I always associate rattlesnakes with the desert 🌵 Maybe I shouldn’t have relied on John Wayne movies for my knowledge of American flora and fauna 🙄

I’ll never forget when we lived in Colorado, and we went for a hike we saw a rattler. Backed up very very slowly. Lol

All you need for a big bad snake is a good hawk. Look at the intensity on that bird's face!

I have told many to hold horizontally, but phones do not allow that for some reason

I’ve had larger than that in my yard. Don’t like them. I kill them when I see them. Friends eat them. Gators are more of a problem on golf courses, than rattlesnakes, in Florida.

I had a face to face encounter with a Thai King Cobra back in about 67.
The .45 going boom brought some late night excitement at the Thai Intelligence School. Our compound was within their area. It didn't take long for their mobile patrol jeep to inquire if we were under attack.
The cobra ended up on their dinner menu.
Another snake story.
In the 68 monsoon season I was walking home about 11:00 pm. The Soi was really dark as the power was out. I'm stepping over huge palm trees which had blown over. Shortly after stepping over one fairly large one I heard a rustle. Looking back I saw that last tree crawling off the soi. It was a BIG Boa.
I have other snake stories. Thailand 66 to 69 was an exciting time. And FWIW, Boa does taste like chicken.

It is hard to be sure but that one does not look all that large to me.

8 feet is not an unusual length for a pit viper.
