Venomous Snake Size

What is the largest, weight or length, crotalus you have ever encountered?

psilocybe
The largest Crotalus I've found would have to be a male atrox that was probably around 5.5 ft or so. While WDB's can reach upwards of 7 ft, most of the several hundred I've found were no larger than 4. Seen pics from others though that were absolute monsters, possibly exceeding the big guy I found.

Same here. I have raised some up to that size also.

the recognized world record, for any venomous snake weight, is 28 pounds for an eastern diamondback. the biggest i have ever worked with is a timber rattlesnake that is on display at the Chattanooga nature center. she was a little over 10 pounds. (pictures available at www.ChuckHurd.com) the largest in my personal collection is a canebrake rattlesnake. she is a fresh w/c from sc and a little over 7 pounds. i am sure i could push her past 10 easily with over feeding. hope this helps.

I am more interested in the overall length of any rattlers found in the US.
Anyone know of any exceeding 7' in length?
