Big Snake

[cre8foru]

I found this BIG Rat Snake yesterday while walking along the Chattahoochee here in Georgia. My first snake of August and the biggest snake Ive found in a while. Id say he was at least a five footer and defnitely not into the flight defense. He wanted to fight.

Great shot, I don't know if they make a telephoto lens big enough for me to get a shot like that.

Common Black Rat snake

They do have quite an attitude.

They will freeze or run if they can. If they feel cornered they will try to scare you away. I have even had one "charge" me when I walked up on it in an open grassy area.
