Has anyone seen this monster?

No I haven't seen one like that and chances are noboby else will. The type of rattlesnake found in tooele county is the great basin rattlesnake. A three foot specimen would be large for the local species. That one looks more like the large rattlesnakes I have seen near the mexican border in Arizona and New Mexico. It could have been released by some fool near wendover. Unless the toxic waste dump in the west desert is causing mutations that should be a rare sighting. I think I prefer the small ones that I normally find in that area. gshorthair
