I apologize that I may have exagerated a little but the darn thing look 6 ft long when it struck at me. Was actually more like 3 feet long and about as round as a beer can with a short stubby tale. Everyone that looked at the critters remains ( after I blew its head off ) said it was a Water Moccasin. Bottomline is I don't like snakes and either do my grandkids.
