The question in my mind was this............. I've seen a lot of really big rattlesnakes in my time and being from the "pit viper" family, the girth of these snakes grown to disproportionally large sizes per the length of the snake. I've seen 6 footer whose girth was the size of my thigh and I'm not a thin, boney kind of guy. Secondly, the head size also grows to be abnormally large for the length of the snake. With these two question in my mind, a 15 ft Rattler would have a 32 to 36 in girth and a head the size of a Honey dew! This critter just didn't seem to match the description given so I googled the story and found the same pics attached to the original story.
Seems the snake was killed in the location as told but the actual footage was 7 feet, 3 inches long. How it was stretched to 15 feet and a new state record is beyond me.
Any how, just thought inquiring minds would like to know.
