Timber Rattlesnake\n(Crotalus horridus)\n\nMeasuring from 3-4.5 feet (91-137 cm) or more in length, the timber rattlesnake is the largest venomous snake in New York. The record length is 74 ½ inches (189 cm). Timber rattlers impress one as being very stocky; they are large snakes. Despite their size, cryptic coloration allows them to be easily concealed. Two color patterns are commonly found: a yellow phase, which has black or dark brown crossbands on a lighter background color of yellow, brown or gray, and a black phase, which has dark crossbands on a dark background. Black or dark brown stippling also occurs to varying degrees, to the extent that some individuals appear all black. Scales are ridged, giving this rattlesnake a rough-skinned appearance. The timber rattler has a broadly triangular head with many small scales on the crown of the head bordered by a few large scales, unlike the massasauga rattlesnake which has nine large scales on the top of the head.\n\nLike other members of the pit-viper family, the timber rattlesnake has a temperature- sensitive opening, or pit, on either side of the face between and a little below the eye and nostril. This sensory organ is used to detect prey and potential predators. Another feature distinctive of rattlesnakes is the rattle itself. This structure is made of loosely attached horny segments. A new segment is added each time the snake sheds. When vibrated, the rattle makes a buzzing sound characteristic of a disturbed rattlesnake.\n\nFor more info go to http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/wildlife/endspec/tirafs.html

Without having a picture, my best guess would be an Eastern Indigo Snake which is commonly found in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.  The Eastern Indigo is a Non-poisonous snake, but you should exercise caution because without more information, I cannot tell for certain what snake species you are describing.

At least New York exists.  The only WMDs in Iraq are the ones the US military uses.

Your best bet is to get to know some landowners who aren't adverse to allowing a few select people to hunt their property.  Second best is to join a private hunting club - yes, they do exist and no, I'm not talking foxhunting, lol.   Prolly the worst is to hunt state land, of which there ain't much left in New York.  In the Southern Tier of the state, Connecticut Hill is very popular, and so is Sapsucker Woods - but you gotta get permission for Sapsucker Woods, and that's very hard.  Pick up a copy of the state fishing and hunting regs for clues as to where else in the state you can try your luck.  All of my hunting buddys hunt privately-owned land (with permission).  Come deer season, I'd prefer going back out West - New Mexico, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Oregon, Washington - at least I can find someplace to hunt on state or federal lands where there aren't other hunters peering over my shoulder every step I take like they are here in New York!

(m)\n\nEstimates on the city's rat population vary widely from about 8 million - or one per citizen - to more than 50 million. Charles Kourbage, owner of Kingsway Exterminating in Brooklyn, guessed there are seven rats per New Yorker, or as many as 56 million.\n\nIn recent years, rodent complaints to the city's Health Department have fluctuated from about 16,400 in fiscal year 2000 up to 19,400 in 2001 and back down to 16,200 in 2002. \n\nInspections have risen to 61,000 in 2002 from 42,000 in 2000, and exterminations are up to 71,000 in 2002 from 51,000 in 2000. \n\n"There have been a lot of improvements that have basically been reflected on the streets," said James Gibson, assistant commissioner for veterinary and pest control services.

The Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake is the largest and most dangerous of Florida's native snakes, and is one of the most poisonous snakes of the world. It is large in size, has a high quantity of venom, aggressive defensive tactics and tremendous striking speed, thus making this snake one to be treated with extreme caution. Although it may attain a body length of over eight feet, it is rare to find an Eastern Diamondback over seven feet long. Rattlesnakes feed on small warm-blooded animals, mainly rabbits, squirrels, rats, mice, and sometimes birds. When disturbed, rattlesnakes assume a defensive position with the body coiled around and the head and neck raised in an S-position. From this stance, the rattler can deliver the venomous strike. It almost always gives a warning rattle of the tail first. The Eastern Diamondback occurs in every Florida county and prefers rural scrub pine areas. Average adult size is 36-72 inches, and the record is 96 inches.\n \n The Canebrake Rattlesnake, also called the Timber Rattlesnake, is restricted mainly to northern Florida but has been reported as far south as Alchua County. I doubt you'll ever see one in Orlando. This snake is the southern subspecies of the timber rattlesnake found in more northern portions of the United States. As with other rattlesnakes, the head is much wider than the neck. It is smaller and more slender in build than the average Diamondback. Florida specimens seldom measure more than five feet in length. The Timber Rattler is usually found in the flatwoods, fields and around farms. Average adult size is 36-60 inches, and the record is 74.5 inches. There's no snake repellant to keep away Canebrakes! \n \n The Pygmy Rattlesnake, also called ground rattler, is common throughout Florida. It is found in every county. Its rattle is small and slender and produces a sound like the buzzing of an insect, which may be difficult for people to hear. Most pygmy rattlers measure less than 18 inches in length. It feeds on small frogs, lizards, mice and other snakes. The Pygmy has a feisty disposition, and is quick to strike. Luckily, it usually does not inject enough venom to kill an adult human. However, the venom is extremely painful and damaging to tissue. You do not want to receive a Pigmy Rattler bite! Get pest control for snakes first. Average adult size is 12-24 inches, and the record is 31 inches.
