    Ignorance at it's worst
    There is a pic of a 700 lb. python floating around on Facebook. People actually believe that the pic is real and are saying that the snake is a man eater. Well, I responded to that hype that people are starting. How in the hell are you actually going to believe something that fake and stupid. People are saying that anyone that owns a python is crazy. Well, I told the people that I AM one of those crazy people that keeps pythons as pets. Such a lovely say to start my day. This kind of ignorance really pisses me off. People need to be educated and stop believing all the BS that gets posted from the media!

    It didn't :( Is it a common image? I googled 700lb snake but I just saw a bunch of pics I've already seen.

    It is so clearly photo manipulation... I can even tell that the snake is way closer to the camera than it is to the construction equipment.

    Just more proof that news isn't about the truth anymore, it's about getting ratings. And sheeple will believe just about anything they are told.

    well, the front end of the snake at least looks like a boa constrictor. I'm not sure about the back end but it looks like a different snake,

    It's not photo manipulation. It's a perspective misinterpretation. The photo is real but the snake is much closer to the lens than the background object making it impossible to correctly size the snake.
