Classic stories and folklore of big snakes in North America, from a cryptozoological perspective.
Boss Snakes collects and compiles stories of oversized serpents from across North America. Some are tall tales, newspaper hoaxes, pranks, misidentifications, exaggerations, or exotic introductions. Some suggest that historically, at least, several native species reached larger maximum lengths. A few might just point to something new, whether a population-level variation or even a new species. State-by-state accounts are given for giant "typical" snakes and for giant rattlesnakes.
