About 70 miles east of us.
Hallettsville Texas
About 30 miles south of I-10 between Luling and Sealy, half-way between Houston and San Antonio
A Texas Power & Light crew, putting in lines for an addition to the Hallettsville Municipal Airport , found the following in culverts...
See the two (2) pictures below:
The gator is/was 18' 2" long.
The rattlesnake roundup totaled 87.
We thank Texas Power & Light for sharing these pictures
Ya'll come back now, hear!
Grow em big in Texas eh ? :D
the really great thing about this is that the rattlesnake meat and the gator tail are quite tasty...LET'S EAT Y'ALL.....:D:w
That's quite a few srops and razor cases.
I like where you are headed with that Ivan. Sounds like you and Scott have got a good plan.
:)
I know nothing about rattle snakes. Is it common to find them in a pile like that? I scares me just lookin at it.
By the way cool pics. I like to see where others live. That makes chester look kinda boring.

They do live in large dens. About 2 miles from my place they built a new High School about 5 years ago (my baby girl is a senior there now), it was built on old private property and during the construction they dug up one of the largest rattlesnake dens ever found in the state, I forget how many 100's were estimated to be in there. Wish that I had a link to that story.

I have seen gators that large and snakes that big when out fishing in south Ga. I am just glad I have never had a run-in with them. Those are some great pics.
Thanks for sharing!
let me just say this, if i ran into that gator or that den of snakes i believe i would set a new land speed record being on foot.(and would most assuredly need a new pair of britches):eek:
Only if you weren't hunting them.
:)
first off, i ain't going hunting nothing that is that big or has that many in one spot.
i lived in dallas for a couple of years and there was a couple there, both were in their late sixties and every year they went on vacation to west texas to rattlesnake hunt. they wanted me to go and offered to cover all expenses including hotel, food, alcohol, everything...each time i got invited i said NO!!!
ain't nothing tastes that good for me to go after it....
