I would sure like to see pics of a 15ft Diamondback Rattler. For years, one of the snake handlers in Floridia offered a $1,000 reward for a live Diamondback over 10ft. I think the record is 8ft. 15ft? I have to see it. (from a distance!!)

Probably not that many good ones - the bigger the skin, the less detail for pens. The shorter skins tend to look better on pens.
