Hey slayer, Welcome to the forum! Go ahead and post the picture so our pattern makers have something to work with. In the meantime, please go over to the introduction page and introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly!

Nice picture of a beautiful snakes slayer.  I hope you didn't live up to the screen name and kill it.  I catch rattlesnakes as part of my job at MacDill AFB and I just relocate them to unpopulated areas.  We don't have timber rattlers here, but we do have eastern diamondbacks and pygmy rattlers.  The biggest I've caught so far was a little over a year ago when I relocated a diamondback of roughly 6 1/2 feet.

I would imagine it is pretty tough to do a pattern of a coiled snake.  I'm no pattern maker, but I think it would be a real challenge.  Did anyone help you out?
