Completed the Florida trifecta

Followed up the Eastern coral and the Burmese python with an Eastern diamondback rattler. Actually spent an extra day here just to search for one again.

Will update with full trip details when I have time.

Very cool looking snake. The rattlers I've encountered over the years have all been allowed to live. And I kill copperheads like rats.
Saw a 5-6 ft timber rattler in Webster Parish crossing a road in front of me and just let him go after watching him on the side of the road awhile. That's just a beautiful, impressive animal up close. So I guess I'm not irredeemable, but frick a copperhead. Sorry. We've been enemies for decades.

I thought it would be you caught a tarpon, a snook, and a permit.
With these snakes, I'll admit you got bigger balls than me.

Saving those for the drive home. My body’s aching like I’m 100 years old.

Congrats on the diamond back, but there is one more, maybe two to pick up for your "life list". Number one would be an apalachicola kingsnake and the other would be an indigo. My herping and fishing partner has lucked up on a few, very few, apalachicola kingsnakes. I've lived in the Florida Panhandle for almost 50 years now and have only seen one indigo. And that was after a man and his son had just killed it and they said it was a rattlesnake. Finding an indigo would be cool.

It is said to find abandoned gopher tortoise holes and you will find Indigo snakes.

Yeah an Indigo has always been #1 on my list but I don’t even consider it realistic. Though they’ve been found where I caught the coral.

Good catch. I know you had a blast. I can imagine the frissons.
I’ve only had the opportunity to see oneEastern Diamond Back. Near a pipe rack with overgrowth at an old well location. It was at least 5 1/2 feet long. I left it alone.

I've ran across 2 Indigos in my life..
Palmdale Florida , Fisheating Creek. One I just sat on the ground in front of it and it climbed right into my lap. Very tame..Female , 6/7 Ft or so.
Folks on my hunt club , Lifelong Crackers don't even know what they are.
Big Bend area of Florida.
I hear Tall Timbers in the Tally area are doing a breeding program on them.

I think it's a different subspecies but you should be able to find one in Deep South Texas cruising senderos. I've seen a few on an old deer lease in La Salle County, some of them huge, and they can absolutely fly.

That is a beautiful snake but please baw, catch all them bastards so they will stay out of my yard

Yeah there are some guys I follow on instagram who get a half dozen of those in a day. We were supposed to do a Texas trip this year but my youtuber friend decided he wanted to do Florida again. We might do Texas next year. Think I’ve got one more ‘glades trip in me this year. Got all my biggest targets but that area is just so awesome. I want all the same stiff, but BIGGER.
