9 out of 10 is a very conservative estimate

I recently went to a ladies house to move a snake out of her barn. She described it as being bright, full of colors and patterns and HUGE. She also said it was between 1 and 2 feet long but that she just couldn't believe how huge it was. I guess she's used to baby garters or something. The snake was reported as a rattler but we all know how that goes... Anyway, knowing that people always over estimate the size of snakes I went there expecting to pull out a second year milksnake or something. The first thing I found after arriving at the barn as a 50-inch Eastern Milksnake shed. I know the sheds can stretch a little bit but even after compensating for that the snake has to be bigger than any other on record in the state. An absolute beast! Never did find the snake after 4 trips.
