    The largest Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake ever recorded was back in 1946 by a hunter named Rutledge. It measured 7 ft 9 in long with a weight of 34 lb officially weighed and documented by the Guinness Book of World Records.

    I was a Forester for 40 yrs in Georgia and have came across some huge Easterns and canebreaks. I stepped 9n a 6 ft Eastern and he never rattled or struck me. I jumped 10 ft and walked on air another 10 ft! I've seen probably 100s in my 40 yrs and also many cottonmouths. I had rather encounter a diamondback than a cottonmouth. I had a cottonmouth chase me on land and had one hit me on leg of course I had leggings on. I was in woods one day and went to bend down to walk under limb about eye level when I realized that limb looked different and at about 2 ft away I was staring an Eastern in the face!! He was about 5 ft long stretched out on limb so be aware rattlesnakes climb!!!

The road was eight feet wide we thought it was a tree that had fell my Grandma asked me to get and try and move it. As I got closer to it I seen it wasn't a tree it was a rattlesnake I went to both sides of the road to see how much was in the ditch never seen the head or tail of it. My grandma asked me what's wrong as I came back to the jeep I told her that's not a tree it's a rattlesnake she said get in. We ran it over the head came up about four feet in the ditch on my side. I doubt we killed it cuz it was there when we came back. I'm guessing it was at least 13 feet or more cuz never seen the tail and about eight to ten inches in diameter.

    This past July 7 I was visiting deep Creek hot Springs near Hesperia California. I laid down in the shade before I was going to hike out after cooling off. I thought a fly was buzzing my ankle and when I looked down it was a giant, 4 foot southern pacific rattlesnake. It wasn’t rattling and it seemed very curious. I swung my legs around quickly jumped back. The snake just slithered under a bush no worries at all. It still creeps me out to think that a giant rattlesnake put its head on my foot. Thankfully it didn’t feel threatened and actually it seemed friendly.

      Welcome to the #venomcentral #venomsquad and thanks for watching! NO, NEVER been bitten in 38+ years but I do stock an inventory of antivenom for the species I work with. It's better to have it and not need it, than not have it and need it. Why rely on everyone else's (zoo's etc) inventory of expensive antivenom? It's a keepers responsibility, just my opinion.

      Some of them when they're crawling along the open ground they full on look like a skeleton of death haha with those white segments on their body and the big black skeleton eye markings behind their real eyes. 💀😂
      And how they crawl in a straight line instead of zig-zag like a normal snake is creepy.
      They've got the ultimate "yeah best stay well clear of that thing" look. 😂
      And with good reason. I've heard of them even piercing through their own bottom jaw with their fangs to clip their handlers. 😬

    It's really simple, when you think about it. The availability of food, clean water and sufficient shelter. Look at Florida and it's invasive species problem. Those species thrive there because the area is not native to those species, but has abundant food sources and cover, and a hell of a lot of water.

    Eastern Diamondbacks get well over 10' long if left unbothered in the wild where prey is plentiful. When an Eastern uses an armadillo hole you can roll a volleyball down in as its home, then you can call it a fully grown and aged rattlesnake.

      Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake 7ft.9in.34lb documented by Guinness World Records is the largest rattlesnake species capable of delivering 1000mg of venom in a single bite with 1 inch fangs and a bite force of 150psi.

    Tyler Nolan once said that Cobras are slightly more manageable than Rattlesnakes because Rattlesnakes have heat pits and cobras don't. Because of the heat pits, rattlesnakes and gaboons are far more accurate in their strikes. I was just wondering if you agreed with that

    • @VenomCentral
      @VenomCentral  2 года назад +1

      No I definitely do not agree. First of all, Gaboons do NOT have heat pits. Secondly Cobras are sight hunters and not more manageable. They go after movement, all of the elapids are fast, wiry and have good climbing abilities. Which makes them much more dangerous than the majority of pit vipers. But honestly they are all dangerous and not pets and should be treated with the utmost respect and handled responsibly. Thanks for watching and sharing your great question! 👍🐍💪🙏
