A Diamondback Rattlesnake that came out of the palmetto scrub one day while we were out flying RC models in Central Florida near Orlando. We left it alone to go about its business of keeping the rodent population in check.
I was sleeping in my bedroom about 20 feet from this huge white pine tree, then lightning hit the tree and shook me to the inner core bone, lol. When I awoke I thought I'm alive I'm alive. Then I thought I can't die some day without having my youtube up and running. My two pet EDB's dark color female is 4 foot long , light color male is 5.5 foot long. Both are only 1.5 to 2 years old.
