Alex Gomez found the 4-foot-long snake in a field behind his home on Monday and decided to pick it up.I'm going to hazard a guess and say alcohol was probably involved in this poor decision.

and even wrapping it around his neckSounds like the snake went above and beyond with tolerance. Wonder what he did to finally get it mad.

I normally give snakes their just distance and due, but in this case I feel ‘sorry’ that the snake will end up being destroyed because of the stupidity of this idiot - Guess ‘we’ will end up paying the tab also.

I took the precaution of killing this one first. It is a Florida Eastern Diamondback.

Wonder what he did to finally get it mad.It's rumored Gomez wouldn't give him a copy of the selfie and the snake went balistic. :)

Good point and the video shows he was fond of multiple knuckle tattoos.

I have harshly Judged two diamondbacks over the past couple of weeks. No selfies, but I did photograph the carcasses. 410 target loads (#7shot) works nicely.
Judge is my constant companion around the place since he so judiciously despatches snake justice.

Yes he was almost 7 feet. I shot him through the head with a .30 Tokarev. The rake tine is through that bullet hole.

We’ve lived out here on the river for almost 30 years. Husband has killed twenty-four (24) rattlesnakes in all those years. (He wanted to filet one of the bigger ones to put in the freezer to eat; but I said “NO!” All totaled, there’s no telling how many poisonous snakes have been killed out here on the river. There’s a sinkhole up the way that was just teeming with them several years ago. - Normally, I don’t kill any snakes. They have their place. - The copperheads, though, are sneaky. Quiet, sneaky, lethal. A copperhead got up on the back porch & was headed for the back door one night. Our big dog, Dubbers, is a snake dog with the biggest dew claws I’ve ever seen. She’s very casual about snakes; but the copperhead had her all stirred up & barking to alert us.
