What? you rather have that damn NJ Turnpike or the snake?
I pick snake hands down. |
|
I dunno where you lived in NJ but up in the Ramapo Mountains at least 4 Rattlesnakes visited me.
|
|
You fucking A tweety I'd rather have the snake, at least you know where the snakes intentions lay and he's a 1000 times more honest than the most honest politician in jersey. |
|
|
No I'm waiting for a two-fer so I can make a pair of boots LOL |
|

I think they're around the entire country. We have them in north dakota. My brother and I found one while collecting firewood out camping. Beat it to death with some logs. We cut it open after it was dead and found a couple of partially digested mice inside, which was pretty cool. damn snakes! |
|
|
They're all over. Even have them in Michigan.

Just remember that it’s more afraid of you than you are of it!!
|
|
there's better gun laws than in Jersey, something you don't have to worry about!
|

Damn dude!! You've been in Pa, what, not quite a year and you already found a rattler. I've been here for almost 20 years (out in the country the whole time) and have seen a total of 3 black snakes the whole time.
I'd kill the thing if it were me, I'd hate to have my dog get bitten by it. |
|
No I kept messing with him while my son ran and grabbed the camera while my wife was screaming "you're gonna get bit!" And I was yelling back "I have life insurance so STFU before I do get bit listening to you LOL" |
|
|
How big was it? Looks to be about a foot or so in the second pic...
|
|
I'd say 4 or 5 feet. count the rattles on his tail and that should tell you something. |
|
|
+1 I be a fried man myself. |
|
|
That sure is a biggin alright!
They still don't compare to the Water Moccasins that I have seen down here though! Bad thing about them is... they will chase your ass!!!!!! |
|
He has shed 9 times. Still doesn't tell me how big he is. You should have picked him up by the tail so we could see how he looks at full extension (but hey, I understand you would be embarresed)... |

|
Before you talk about someone being embarrassed you should learn how to spell it |
|||
|
It's the net...I don't mins misspelling stuff!!! |
||||
|
By the way check your math and counting skills. He has 11 rattles and that means he shed 10 times and that does give an indication of size and age if you know anything about Rattlesnakes. |
|
|
+1000....beat me to it! |
|
|
In the top pic, it looks like 9 and a button. Could be that the fuzzy pic is throwing me off.... |

|
The Pinbarrons of NJ have plenty of rattle snakes. I guess you North Jersey guys never noticed.
|
|
Fine meal and if you get enough of them they make nice boots too. A snake is an easy meal. |
|
|
Nice trolling jerky You know as well as all of us that the pic is clear as a bell. That rattle is moving really fast, nice try though. |
|||
|
Water moccasins dont compare to the taipans, tigers, etc around here |
|
|
OK, THis is NJ, they said the rattler was endangered and brought some to the Batsto area to repopulate, OK, doe sthis make sense? we have no cobras either, how about other dangerous species.
|
|
Yeah you guys down under have some pretty deadly snakes and spiders. www.usyd.edu.au/anaes/venom/snakebite.html#small www.termite.com/spiders/Funnel-Web-Spider.shtml
The funnel-web female spider is like some women huh LOL |

|
No frickin way man! Dat ting coulda really put you in a hurtin and whatnot. Youz needs to get out of dat area and get back to Joisy! and whatnot |

We get the western diamondbacks around here all the time. They are a bit smaller, but mean. I always kill them if I see one. One bit my dog once, but the dog lived.
