Pretty sure the heart attack would kill me first.



This, coupled with a massive amount of jean shorts and Lynryd Skynyrd bumper stickers are just two of the many reasons I left the city of Jacksonville. Near St Augustine, Florida in St John's County, this Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake was killed a couple of weeks ago. The snake was 7'3" long. Although not a record, would produce a record in my pants if I stumbled across this monster. In true Jacksonville fashion, the trapper gave the snake to a man who runs a muffler shop...and also makes things from skin(WTF?). He said he could've made $700...$100/foot, but logically, however, he traded the massive snake for future car muffler repairs...and perhaps the off chance he'll need something made of skin.
