Oh man… good luck! I found a 33 inch beast nesting in my LR as my first ever hitch hiker. The rock was gone, don’t care what happened to it. That nightmarish creature can burn where it belongs. But really, I wish you luck with it, you will most likely have to get rid of the whole rock it’s in.

I got INCREDIBLY unlucky with my first ever hitchhikers. It wasnt just ONE bobbit but it was multiple. There were Atleast 4 in the rock. I’d assume 2 adults, 2 younger ones by size (One adult was 33 inch, the other was a nasty 24 inch and the two younger ones were 4 inch and 7 inch).

omg...did you lose any small fish...

Actually, I lost the whole lot of fish. The only survivors were a Damsel and Occelaris clown pair. Never again risking it and always going to check the rocks before introducing them to a tank.

Cook it with heat! Turn that tank right the way up if you have nothing else in there.

definitely not something you want in your tank, but it is pretty cool looking, it sucks these things are so dangerous to tank inhabitants or i'd probably try to keep one willingly lol

best of luck, have anyone in your area experienced in collecting rattlesnakes?

I had one in my first big tank the late 70's - rock from the Keys, and never could get it out till I had a tear down. had to grab it with snake tongs

serious willies....
