Here it is guys! After searching high and low for 10 straight months (I mean MANY HOURS) I finally got my lifer EASTERN DIAMONDBACK RATTLESNAKE yesterday in Sebastian!!!! I cannot express into words the excitement I felt at having found such a gorgeous animal and FINALLY fulfilling a life long dream!
Here are the photos!

So far, 2015 has been epic! I have found a total of 7 lifers so far!
Here is another lifer I found a few weeks ago.

Nice going! That second photo of the EDB is fantastic...you should get it framed as a reminder of that day.

Thanks everyone! I've actually gotten 2 more lifers since this post of animals I've been excited to see. I'll post them on my next post. I love living in Florida and I'm glad I moved here.
Re: My most favorite lifer experience EVER!!!
