**Post up your Largest snake pics!**

This one had the longest rattles I'd ever seen at the time. Wasn't very big length wise. Measured 54" but it would have probably went 5 foot if I could have measured it better. Not too bad for a West Texas snake.

No that was on top of a deep freeze in a buddy of mines shed. That's where the snake went. He's at the taxidermist right now.

Pretty striking rattler, is that diamondback?

Yes sir the one coiled up on the freezer is. The one coiled up ready to go is a Prairie Rattlesnake. I actually caught a Diamondback bigger than that but his rattles had broken off so I chose that one instead. I thought he'd make a better mount because of how long his rattles were and coloration.

That snake never did strike but a few times right after I caught him. The Prairie Rattler in the first picture was a different story. He never bit me but sure wanted to. They're pretty ill tempered.

That was the biggest coral snake and texas rat snake I have ever seen!

Haven't seen any this year. Would like to learn how to skin and tan one though.

Cut them up the middle of the belly,pull the skin down all the way to the tail,flesh the skin with a spoon,nail or tack it to a board and brush on glycerin until it can't absorb anymore.

If you want to keep the rattles on (if its a rattlesnake) cut the meat as close to the rattles as possible after you pull the skin down that far. Be careful when you get to the "vent" because that part is fairly easy to tear.

If you are new, search is your friend. Pretty soon there will be a "best snake boot" thread.

This is the one Artos and I came across late last season.

Y'all make mine look like a little worm compared to some of those things.

Someone new will inevitably scroll through this thread and decide there is a need for some good snake boots and will turn to the GS for advice, starting a new thread. Just saving them some time, letting them know about the search function.
