Rattlers should not be allowed to get to that size. What the hell was that thing eating? Steroids?

That's a Western Diamondback, and while they can get quite large (but not as large as Eastern Diamondbacks), given the forced perspective of that picture, it's probably no more than 6 ft. Still a very large snake though.

BTW (not necessarily directed at you), the number of snake rattles does not equal age of the snake, just how many times it has shed. A new segment for every shed, and a snake can shed multiple times a year.

Looks like a 9 year old 44" Timber ratler to me ... not of the canebreak variety like we have around here.

You're joking, right? Timber and Canebrake rattlesnakes are the same thing.

My special needs boy took one look at that photo and said, "Da da. Dat pic is fake as frick."

Even he knew about the site linked above that exposes the bullshite behind these giant snake photos.
