Bob777 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hello All,,,last summer I had this 5' garden snake eating my tomatoes off the vine. In my backyard. I was fighting him off with my pepper spray, put he just made a salad with it. But for real on TV I saw rattlers that big in Florida... Florida has every poisonios snake you can find in North America, and coral snakes, and Florida has every rattler there is too. This was a fun post...Bob777...

AZNuggetBob Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 AzNuggetBob, I remember that guy hanging around the LSD area! Some where I even have a picture of him with that snake hanging around his neck, never knew what happen to him,I am going to look for the pic (print before the days of digital) I lost a lot of my prints in a fire and am slowly scaning what I have left (100s).MaxHi Max, that's the guy. Snakeman, he lived out in that area. I only went to his house a few times and it was not the place for the squeamish. He had snakes everywhere, in boxes with loose lids I might add. running around loose on the floor. you had to shut the door to keep them in! he had a pit in his back yard full of the common western diamondbacks. snakes everywhere. a wild and crazy guy.
