The snake looks very long in the video, but it's hard to judge how long it really is, because it's in the foreground with the small bus behind. That makes it look a lot longer than it probably is. It appears to be a Western Diamondback. The largest recorded Western Diamondback is about 7 feet and I doubt this snake is longer than that. Regardless, it's still a big one.

Every thing is bigger in Texas. Hasbeen F Street Station in Anchorage serves halibut in "Texas-sized" portions and regular. Texas-sized is half our regular... Watch out. When global warming gets through with Alaska it will be the size of Rhode Island. Hasbeen

really pretty one... glad they had enough sense to let it live. Some of you yo yo's that go around killing every snake you see get on my last nerve. Your yard/barn/patio of course kill them. Some of you would run off the damn road trying to kill a snake.

Some of you would run off the damn road trying to kill a snake. actually i have done that, ran off the road to run over a buzztail. i have also backed up and went forward several times to make sure they looked like a pancake.
