im so glad it wasnt a rattler since his daughter found it, could have been a real tragedy there, they tend to strike when they feel threatened.

did anyone see this link ? YouTube - Rattlesnake attack live on ABC (very scary!)
this is the biggest rattle snake ive ever seen.

eek!!!!! that sure looks like one........

aint that the truth, that must have felt like having his hand hit with a lump hammer.
i was so awed by the power that rattler must have used to totally have slipped that clamp on its neck.
people are so stupid at times, that host thought he was totally safe, he so underestimated what a rattle snake will do when it feels threatened.

Check the dorsal saddles, the dorso-lateral spots, the band across the snout, the narrow neck, the body form... the potentially fatal bite.

i personally would take it right back to where i found it.... even if there is any chance of it being one......
