Don't see many of those Eastern D backs any more. The banded water snake almost looks like a timber rattler(canebrake).
  I tanned an Eastern D back that came off of Osawbaw Island GA. that stretched off the ends of a 8" sheet of plywood and was over 12" wide. It was hung over the fire place in the big house there. Mrs. West(island owner) commissioned it.

At least they didn't stuff 'em live into the mailbox for you.  Good neighbors.

The only place I want to see them things is on the back of a bow! I'm glad I don't live in snake country, it would be hard for this northerner to enjoy the outdoors if I had to worry about them all the time.
