I killed a cane brake rattle snake when I ran over it with a locomotive while switching a chemical plant in SE Louisiana. It was over 8 feet long and around 6 to 7 inches in diameter at its widest point. The wheel of the locomotive cut off about 10 inches including its head. One of the brakemen on the job who was a little over 6 feet tall held it up as high as he could and about 6 inches of it’s tail was still on the ground.

That never happened🤣 the biggest one anyone has ever found wasn’t even no where near 7 and if one were to be that large it would have way more than 7 inches in diameter

Why are you glad the owner of the land didn't try to kill it?

[@El_Rubbertoe]

Why kill it?

[@pezdavis4632]

Because they are a protected species that provides balance in the ecosystem firsty, secondly because they are protected making them illegal to kill. The only reason to kill snakes is ignorance
