This eastern diamondback rattlesnake was killed in Goose Creek, Berkeley County, South Carolina and measured six feet and seven inches long (~ 2 m). I also read the snake was killed with jumper cables, which sounds like an odd and dangerous way of killing anything, let alone a large venomous snake. Let's hope this part of the story isn't true, or at least that there's a rational explanation.

Here's an interesting fact. I read hogs could be making rattlesnakes rattle less. A farmer who raised pigs for a long tim reported that when he would hear a rattlesnake buzzing in the sow pen, the sows would be line to it and fight over the snake since pigs love to eat rattlesnakes. Therefore, the theory is they are ceasing to rattle to avoid detection.Roy Adams
