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’ = 84”
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 72”. And....... you likely didn’t see anywhere close to an 84” timber.
