Yes the world record timber rattlesnake is 62 or 64.5 inches. I bet evetything this snake was atleast a few inches if not 6 inches longer than the record. I had no idea the record was only over 6ft.
5’ = 60†6’ = 72†7’ = 84â€
I’ve seen plenty in the 5’ and extra range. Even got pic proof and no dead phone and everything. As many as I’ve seen, I’ve never measured a 72â€. And....... you likely didn’t see anywhere close to an 84†timber.
I killed one a few years ago was 62" with his head cut off, would have been prolly 5' 6" (66") head and all. Longest me and several others ever saw. He was skinny as a black racer. BTW, we have plenty timber rattlers up here, some real grown uns. I've yet to hear of one or see one that was confirmed 6 foot.
I killed that long one when we were cutting timber. The loggers were killing a monster every few days, they had them stirred up I guess . Good lawd there were some that would make a grown man have snake nightmares.
