I don’t care either way if it’s 15 feet or 7 feet. As long as it never crosses my path then I’m cool with it taking a trip to the moon!

The photos are real. The length of the snake is a hoax. It’s actually 7’3″ long. Here’s a website with news coverage on video that verifies it if anyone is interested. http://www.news4jax.com/video/21164498/index.html 3 words to the wise: GOOGLE, GOOGLE, GOOGLE

Well….here’s my two cents: First off, I doubt we’ll bee seeing this snake in any zoo…..my bet is that the snake in the pic is dead. C. adamanteus (as well as many other heavy-bodied snakes) have to be pinned carefully so that they don’t thrash their heavy bodies around and break their own neck/spine. The snake in the pic is dangling straight down while being held by the throat.
My first take was that it was speared through the neck…and now they’re saying it’s alive and zoo-bound…hmmm…
I can’t be sure, of course, but that looks like a Leatherman tool (2.5″blade) displaying the fangs, (cutting edge facing the roof of the snake’s mouth…not what you do with a live snake that you want to stay alive )
I love the idea…but I’m not buyin’ it.

i highly doubt that this rattlesnake is 15 feet long, maybe 8-12ft at the longest. oh, and the largest venomous snake is the king cobra….way bigger than the black mamba. also there are a lot more than just tree types of rattlesnakes. just thought i would inform you of your sketchy facts.

Looks like a small knife in his mouth, meaning awfully small head for a 15 foot rattlesnake. If it is a 5 or 6 inch blade it is understandable and believe able.

it’s not only fake BUT the person that runs this blog quite clearly did it for the hits, I so do hope that the traffic it get kills his server that way he might learn that whilst posting a traffic grabber has it’s uses you also need support for that kind of action.

Oh we own lots of snakes BUT that has nothing to do with the fact that this is a fake, the person closest to the camera is MUCH closer than you think and the person furthest away is also closer.

Perspective is a great tool with a half decent camera and finally take a look at Urban Myths dot com before you go for jit count heaven.
