 It's just crazy to think you're that close to, like, a 9-, 10-inch-foot snake. And you can't see her? Yeah. And we know, basically, where she's at with the tag and still have trouble finding her. If you hadn't tagged her, you'd stand absolutely no chance. Despite being plentiful and huge, up to 16 feet long, these snakes are very hard to find. They are perfectly camouflaged. With no luck, we headed back to our boat to try our chances on one of the other 13 tagged females.
