WJXT-TV reported that Lindsey Nilsen uploaded three images and a video clip of the eastern diamondback rattlesnake to Facebook about 11:30 a.m. Monday. As of a couple of hours later, it had been shared 2,300 times.
"That is a big [expletive] rattlesnake right there, dude," a man can be heard saying in the video clip. "... Oh, my God, that (expletive) is like 6-foot."
The snake can be seen lingering near the person filming the encounter before slithering off into taller grass.
