Giant Rattlesnake

[10Seconds]

I hate snakes. Only good ones are dead ones.

It is an optical illusion. The snake is much closer to the camera than the guy. The stick is hidden so you don't get a good visual reference of the depth of the photo.

Also appears that the camera is shooting from an elevated position slightly. Probably just a large'ish adult snake, nothing special I'd bet.

That snake would have been worth some big bucks alive!

My son came in excited to have found a copperhead by our wood pile last night. I was sure surprised to see the size of it, but it was luckily a very well fed water or rat snake that was at least 6 feet long. Really dark colored made it hard to read the markings beside the fact he decided to go into a split in our tree. Never would have guessed there was that much of a hollow in the tree.

What brand of beer is he drinking??

Hard to tell because it's in a coozi. That could refine the list of places where the pic was taken depending on the brew. Though judging by those boots coupled with athletic shorts, I'd say its a Budweiser.

I've seen this pic before but I don't think the bite resistance boots that ol'boy is wearing would have done him any good against that big ass rattler

I hate snakes with a passion! Always did make me jumpy walking in the woods.

Check Snopes. They are good about proving/disproving pics and stories

I have TBI, PTSD, and no regrets.
