97 pound rattle snake killed in kansas?

Answers:
from what this site says thats not unusual in texas
“BIG” Texas Rattlesnake
Watch for the ‘big’ one next time you’re out in tall grass…
A reminder that these creatures are actually out there.
No matter what you believe, sometimes they should get not only
prescriptive rights to be there, but the full right of way…
Things really are bigger in Texas!
This 9 feet, 1 inch - 97 pound rattlesnake was found at the J %26 S Quik Mart located
south of RR 3014 Turnoff on Highway 281 south of Tow, Texas (just west of Burnett, Texas)


And here's how to cook 'em...
DEEP-FRIED RATTLESNAKE
1 medium-sized rattlesnake (3-4 lbs.), cut into steaks
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup cracker crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
Mix dry ingredients. Whisk milk into beaten egg and use to dip snake steaks.
Then coat them with dry ingredients. Fry, uncovered, in 400 degree oil until brown.
yum, yum!

I believe they found out that it wasn't actually a rattlesnake...

Actually it was 98 pounds he gained a pound since I killed it. Must be blood clotting the doctor said, and it wasn`t in Kansas, it was in California, Fresno/Visalia area. Is there anything else you want to know about it?

The average Rattle snake in Kansas is 3-5 feet tops, you can't pack 97 pounds into that. The biggest one I have ever personally heard of (NOT SEEN) was a 6 1/2 footer that was nabbed out by Kanopolis Lake when I was just outta high school and that was a long time ago.

In your dreams? Can I have the rattles??

Can't find a single entry! Don't believe it!

There is no way a rattle snake could weigh 97 pounds unless someone filled it with lead after it was dead. It was probably a Burmese python escaped from someones cage. I had a Burmese that was over 20 feet long and tipped the scales at 101 lbs. It looked like a short telephone pole.
