Didn't have any cornmeal. He came to dinner at the campsite and we fried him in oil.

On second look,I do believe budke has a valid point,still big enough for lunch.

That doesn't look like a rattler, that looks like a python of some sort.

I thought the same until I looked at the head. Definitely don't think it's a rattler though.

It's one of the 10's of thousands of Burmese that have multiplied after someone let there pet go. You can tell by the tiger like stripes and lack of rattle...lol They are screwing up the everglades, Austin Stevens was all over that story

I watched a show on NatGeo about the pythons in Florida. They are eating everything down there, dogs, cats, endangered birds, baby gators. They are mean suckers too. Another reason why people shouldn't have exotic pets.

that's a cottonmouth, a cousin to the rattlesnake(both pit vipers). and just as venomous.

I'm so glad you didn't say poisonous. A lot of people interchange the two and it drives me bananas

For exotic pets, banning them won't fix the issue, responsible ownership and less shady trade practices will
