This has been floating around the Internet in case you have not see it yet. Allegedly it was killed in a swamp land along the river in lower Claiborne County or just into Jefferson County, Mississippi. Not sure where the picture was taken. The snake is an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, Crotalus adamanteus. It is said to be 8-1/2 feet (2.6 meters) long and had 21 rattles.
I can't imagine a rattle snake getting to be that big, if so it should be in the book of records.
