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.
