BARTOW, Fla. (WFLA) — A massive rattlesnake was recently caught on camera near Bartow.
Cathy Terry sent News Channel 8 the photo she took of the snake from her truck just a few miles south of Bartow.
She describes the snake as a huge, fat eastern diamondback rattlesnake, and said it slithered across the road right in front of her.
Apparently, the snake was so long it took up about three-quarters of the width of the two-lane road.
Cathy says if they hadn’t looked out their window before getting out of the truck, they would have stepped right on it.
She tells News Channel 8 she’d like the photo to be a reminder for everyone to stay alert for snakes, not only in parks and woods, but even in their own backyard.
