For point of reference my pard was 6 feet tall and weighed in just under #200

I've killed true 6ft diamondbacks but that one is the king of rattlers.

I hunted rattlers for their skins way back, killed hundreds, won't kill one now unless it's a direct threat.

Found a little one on the job site a couple months ago, put it in a bucket and relocated it in the desert.
