Florida Power & Light crew putting in lines for an addition to the Orlando International Airport found

Okay, Florida's off my list of places to retire to...

I don't care for gator, rattler is good.

how did you get that job and where can I reply, I love reptiles and all them rattlesnakes would keep me entertained for months, then there would be a rattlesnake line of belts with matching holsters

I think the lady is measuring that gator for a nice new purse and and matching shoes.

mmmkay. Look at the one snake, the one on the bottom, just to the right of the stake in the ground. He's pretty fat around the center, so to speak.

I'm Thinking somethings wrong with this picture. Where's the pythons? Are these news pic's? I dont think so,but I could be wrong. I call photoshop.

While it's possible it's photoshop, rattlesnakes do den together in large numbers.

I was thinking about the gator pic' I've not seen any news coverage on this local or national.

Gotcha, yeah, it's more likely something is going on with that pic. I honed in on the rattlesnakes due to the python comment.

I Don't think those FPL workers Roped and Taped that gator,plus the size is off the charts for most gators. Oh, It Ain't Music Ti'll Your Ears Bleed. Crank it up!

I thought this was going to be a spring break thread.

Don't remember whether it was declared real or not, or whether or not it was really in Orlando, but I know that pix is a couple of years old. I've seen it 6 or 8 times.

Definitely faked pics...............#1: I would have seen a spot on the local news about a gator of that size. #2: Those are NOT Eastern Diamondback rattlesnakes. Those rattlers are from out West.

Did a little sleuthing (i.e. Google) and the 'gator is supposedly a 14 footer caught in Orlando in 2001. Haven't been able to find anything on the snakes.

Still makes a couple of neat pictures.

I remember seeing the picture of the snakes on this forum a couple years ago.
