I hope they never show up here in Louisiana.

Is it really the longest? I thought they got longer.

Just the same, I bet it was a thrill.
Glad they weren't there when I used to tromp around in the big Cyprus.

Oh how we try to distroy every thing good.

I feel sorry for the snakes. But they simply must be killed.
I wonder if they are good eating?

A lot of people could be fed with that snake! People eat rattlesnakes, maybe Python tastes good?

I ate some rattler once.
When my mother finished cooking it she threw the skillet as far out into the grove behind the house as she could.

Actually, it was a good taste but I could never get my mind off of what it was.
Guess I'll pass next time.

They probably do in their native environment but this was the longest caught in Florida, to date.
