Ok, actually it's still available and costs $1.62

Telefoto... A Rattlesnake can only strike 1/3 to 1/2 its body length. The average Western Diamondback is 24"-30" in length. A BIG snake would be 40". That means the effective striking distance of a REALY BIG snake would be no more than 24". You can get that pic from 8 Feet away with a kit lens.

This is a different one last week. He swallowed the rattler whole - rattle was going the entire time:

Great shots, David. Not sure where I got this rattler photo, but it was a healthy one.

That's pretty classy, George. Including a link to one of Wayne's competitors, when the same diagrams are available here, through a link to Porsche. AA's diagrams aren't even complete. Just sayin. :rolleyes:

It certainly would be a lot more helpful if it showed where the BB's need to go and what gets tossed altogether. Post a pic next time

That's one of those forced perspective shots where the person is holding the critter six feet closer to the camera on the end of a stick.

That snake is not nearly as big as it seems... probably less than 4 feet long.

You can hold a June Bug close to the camera and make it look as big as a football.

Sid don't do snakes.... If it's not about to bite me, and not near my home I leave them alone, but I don't pick 'me up. ;)

Sound strategy.

Looks like a king snake, looks like red & black touching which is the good guys. Still, wouldn't want to get bit or have him drop onto my head.

I might make an exception in this case.

Although if this one bites you, there may still be a visit to the Dr in your future.

One day old baby rattlers can do that. Size means nuthin'... anyway, now you won't get taken in by photography tricks again.

BTW, people sometimes do the same thing with people, cats, wild boar, fish, gators, etc.
