Has anyone seen this one before?

Take a look at this monster! Looks like it dragging a small moose up the side of a cliff. What kind of snake is that?

I don't think it's a small moose, when I blow it up it resembles a wildebeast, so the snake lives in africa. I don't know giants that well, but man is it HUGE. :eek:

Wow....looks like the prey is a wildebeast, although it's hard to tell for sure. I don't recall a snake that large that is patternless...except maybe the "green" burmese...and they wouldn't be eating a wildebeast! LOL Oh, but wait...I think Australia has some pretty impressive giant snakes (maybe not quite so giant as burms or 'condas) and they may be patternless. I'm less familiar with them. Of course, that would mean the prey, whatever it is, is not a wildebeast.


Heh...I'm not help at all, am I? Very impressive picture.

That's a great picture! Seems like it would be a scrub python or rock python. It's got it's work cut out for it though...that's for sure :O

A quick google turns up some gorgeous patternless Afrocks that look just like the one in that picture...so I'm guessing that's just what it is. Beautiful, beautiful animal!!!

Good job SuperJudy! That snake really blends in well :D

wow thats a huge snake

I'm pretty sure that's a Papuan Python (Apodora papuana), although it could be an Olive (Liasis olivaceus olivaceus). Either way, nice looking snake. :snake:

Perhaps...but the prey animal is a huge clue as to the species. Papuan and Olive pythons are from two different parts of the world than a wildebeast. What do you think the prey is?

I wish I could blow up the pic more, but it looks like a Tapir. :confused: The reason I'm leaning towards a Papuan is the body shape of the snake. It has more of a triangular arboreal shape than the oval rock python.

That's just crazy. ^_^

That's a nice big Olive Python from Australia. I've seen that picture a few times before.

i blew it up it is a kangaroo (sp). look close the short front legs long hind. i i blew it up and sent it to my frind who works with computers. so your guess about austtalia is right on.

That pic has made the rounds a couple times. Its an olive python attempting to eat a wallabee (smaller version of a kangaroo).

Yup. That's the conclusion we came up with too.

Uploaded the pic in a more closeup version...

Yes....with the close-up of that, it is a bit easier to see that the prey animal is some sort of kangaroo....although it's still not real clear unless you're looking for it. (To my pathetic eyes, anyhow.) Which makes Olive Python make perfect sense. Awe-inspiring snake and picture, no matter how you look at it!

yes a olive non the less and a wallabee great pic!!

Man that is one BIG snake!

Big snake but an even bigger meal. I'd like to know if it was able to get it down. :hungry:

thats a rock python
