This was taken near Lakeland, FL. It was about 3 feet long, large around the middle, fairly broad head. Not the same coloring as rattlesnakes I've seen, plus there was no rattle. His pattern was banded rather than diamond-shaped.

I had never seen one so large (diameter) and the ones I remember were almost solid black. This one fooled me until I looked it up. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1
