It is on a piece of wood much closer to the camera than the guy... guessing 7'. Still would be huge if it's real.It is certainly not Michigan! A10' rattlesnake? I smell Photoshop.
Some place in the deep south, look at all the moss on the trees. That is really a big rattler, has a ton of rattles on his tail too, I count at least 14.I'm wondering why his head ain't detached? Lol. Gotta be S. Ga. Or Florida. Do you know where this picture came from?
Sounds about right. I killed one that my wife almost stepped on while hiking a couple years ago, which had 13 rattles and was close to 6'. I will say that this one is much thicker than mine.Do I search and you can find the exact info on that snake. It is real however it was 6.5' and weighed 15 pounds. It has 13 rattles and was killed in December while deer hunting in Florida if I remember correctly. The kid who shot it said he never meant for this to go viral his brother posted it in Facebook and it took off from there. I'll try to find the article I found if I can find it again.
Still a huge snake and I'd be running away screaming like a little school girl ifi saw that thing!
