I've seen a few 6 & 7 footers up close, alive and dead and each one looked like a coiled up sewer pipe with railroad spikes for fangs!
OOH!! OOH!!! ME WANT!!!That would make one heck of a shop pet!
btw, it looks like its still alive, and yep, I've seen em near that size. Feeding that monster would break ya.
I'm a herp fan from way back, neat to see them getting that big, the rattle snake roundups are starting to strain the populations.Seems people want the rats, mice and other disease carrying vermine over the nice clean snakes.

i dont know how fast a 9ft snake can travel (though i assume its pretty fast), but it would seem that you could probably get away from it if if you saw it coming.
maybe that wasnt the case - but i try not to kill snakes. they serve a valuable purpose in this life - lowering the amount of golfers i have to kill.
and seriously, that thing is bueatiful... it would be (for whatever reason) nice to know it was out enjoying life somewhere in a feild. pretty much any reptile expert/exibit/zoo would love to have that thing
