Estero, Florida (NBC-2)-- A man in Florida was able to capture images of a huge eastern diamondback rattlesnake crossing the road.

Cory Ball was driving down Corkscrew Road in Estero when he noticed a rather large snake crossing the road. He was able to safely get close enough to the diamondback rattler to snap some images.

The snake is one species of venomous snakes that call Florida home. It is best to keep your distance or call animal services if you encounter one.

Ball stated that the snake simply went about its day and headed into the grass. He also noted that the rattler was not aggressive.
