This disturbingly huge rattlesnake looks like something that should be chasing Ice Cube and Jennifer Lopez through the Amazon, not something a sleeveless dude in Arkansas should be stepping on in 'Merica. ​

But on today's episode of #NightmareShit, that's exactly what happened. This beastly western diamondback reportedly tried to bite a man's dog, so the guy killed it, possibly while wearing flip flops (damn, Arkansas).

Via local news station KFSM:

There is some dispute over whether or not this is actually the largest western diamondback ever found, but the largest ever recorded, according to the University of Texas at Arlington, was 92.5 inches. That's 7.7 feet.
