Its amazing what they can eat isn't it. That scrub python must have been a good 10'+ it looks like.

if u look at it closly the 2 second marker is the same image as the end, but with a shopped snake in it, (notice the placement of his hand on the wall). and the boy would have a natural instince to put his hands in front of him, and defend himself, before it came to him. Though it is very funny to us, this is just more bad publicity for snakes.

There was several pictures roaming the net of a "burmese" i believe that tried to swallow a alligator in florida, but the aligator wasn't dead and tore the snake apart while partialy inside the snake. Don't know if these are real either. Last i heard, was florida is getting bad with the wild snake population. People make me sick, they want a snake when it is little, but when it gets to big the put it outside. Do i hear a real life anaconda movie coming soon? LOL NOPE

At a national herpetological meeting a guy talked about the burm vs gator pic, and they are fairly sure another gator came along and stimulated by the struggle and attacked the snake, tearing it open. Yea the invasive species in FL is getting out of control, i know someone who knows where to find a breeding pop of jackson's chemelons in a vacant lot as well as he goes fishing for agame lizards at another site. Insane!!

yup thats fake

Those kinds of things make me mad, because we may easily be able to tell the difference but many other people that arent ever around snakes or hate them, wouldnt be able to tell the difference or autimatically assume its real.

Indeed... It was fake, but there are people out there scared enough to believe it..

I'm from Marshalltown IA and in Boone IA, there was a red-tail boa that killed a very small baby about 10-12 years ago. Now all constictor snakes are illegal in Boone so not even cornsnakes are allowed. It is so stupid. The snake was kept in a cardboard box in the basement and it was starving. It gets really stupid when someone looks at the number of deaths caused by Pitbulls. It's insanity!

That last part is indeed fake. The video it's self is a real. It was a news clip.

that kangaroo is by no way the width of the snakes body....
