Best Answer

The largest known to have been reported was six feet in length. Most "large snakes" are often reported but never confirmed. The Timber rattler is usually an average of three to four feet in length. The Tennessee Outdoorsman (see related link) is reporting a large snake killed recently and is working to confirm its actual size, it may be a new record for the state.

It is said that the largest rattlesnake on the planet is the Eastern diamondback. The record length for this venomous snake is 96 inches. Tim Manning, Herp.

See the related link for a picture of a 14' Western Diamondback rattler taken in Happy Camp, CA., on the weekend of 9/11/10 by a' good friend of mine. --------- In Mid July, 2010, a rattlesnake was found near Whitwell, TN that measured: 14ft 9in, 24 rattles, 2 buttons, and 100lbs. ---------- There has never been a rattlesnake over eight feet long anywhere. But, there are many hoaxes. The eight footer was killed in Carteret County, North Carolina, in 1959.
