I caught one about that size at the Okeen OK snake hunt a very long time ago. Took me about 45 minutes to get it into a gunny sack to turn in for a prize. My dad and grandfather sat and were entertained by my battle with the snake. It was 4th largest of the hunt and I got enough money to buy my 56 Chevy. I spent my summers on my grandfathers farm and part of my summer was catching pit vipers for sale to drug companies to make anti coagulants. I was trained by an old hermit that took a shine to me and by the end of my first summer I could walk around and see where they were.

Typical forced perspective photo. That said, a 2M tiger is nearly a world record.

Going on yard hunts with my trusty Briggs & Stratton is one thing I just don't miss since relocating from southeast Texas.
We had copper heads, rattlers, coral snakes, king snakes, water snakes, racers, the long pencil thin green vine snakes, chicken snakes, cotton mouths... and more that I never did figger out what they were.
The lawn mower was an equal opportunity mulcher.

Working outside we still think about looking for them. And laugh at ourselves.
