An 18' gator and 87 rattlers Just a days work in TX

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

These were sent to me via e-mail so I'm always a little skeptical of the story with it but these were found duting a TP&L job outside Westlake, TX.

Sweet!!! I think gators are pretty cool. Never seen a rattler in a valve box, but I have heard stories.

I was wondering what Terry Bradshaw was hiding. LOL

Used to hear on the news of them being in the Canals in Las Colinas.

{loking next to that Tx sized lizard photo...is that some skeletal remains there?...hmmmm}

These photos have floated around the net for awhile.

Doesn't surprise me. You can't trust a thing these days w/emails.

Fine. Either way that is one big a$$ gator.

The snakes seem a little staged.

That may be where the snake pic originated.
