That was a big snake. Last year in the Green Swamp of central FloridaI video taped a pigmy rattler striking my snake boot. Great picture.

My 3rd grade students loved it. One day in archery I was leaning on my truck talkingto another archer{an old man full of tales

} Out of the blue a large stocky moccassin came right out on the dirt road and stared at us. Probably 40 inches and beautiful. Wished I had my video camera. Then 2 fellows in a 4X4 came and said they will take care of the snake. I liked what the wise old man who looked somewhatcocky said. "All no ya don't, we are the intruders , this is her home just drive around" and they did.
