looking back on some of my videos. this is one of my favorite. it was a cold 35 degree sunny day and we were walking the aransas river rattling when we came upon this monster sunning. ~6 1/2 foot or better.

Cool snakes

Id agree with this. Here is a 6 footer and I believe he is shorter than the one in the video.

I was sitting in my tree stand deer hunting in FL many years back. I heard all hell break loose behind my stand like something fighting. It kept on and on with no seeming lull in the action. I climbed down from my stand and started moving toward the noise.

What I found was the largest snake I have ever seen in the wild (a black Indigo) with an Armadillos head in its mouth. The Armadillo was still very much alive and the snake was thrashing back and forth slinging its catch against the trees. I watched for a while and it was soon declared a draw when the snake let it go and they both went separate ways. I later found out that this is typical behavior for an Indigo. People that keep them as pets usually feed them dead prey to keep the snake from hurting itself during feeding.

Breezy,Breezy.Breezy.....
Your boys all KNOW for a fact that you've handled a much bigger black snake than that one....
Don't make me post pics!

(told ya I'd get even for the towel pic )

[Wayno]

I would hope that if I saw one of these in the wild I'd be able to let it live, but I'm afraid that after soiling myself, I'd shoot holes in everything in site before realizing what it was.
