    I saw it a while ago too...I doubt it's a snake at all, and I do think its a hoax.

    I believe the photo is real, but I think it may be showing a boat. The boat may have dredged up mud or silt from the bottom, clouding the water in its path, and created the apparent wake patterns in mud clouds as it turned. The 'head' is the boat.

    You are probably right, I wish there was a better photo of it...but then it would no longer be interesting I guess, lol. It is pretty cool how it really does look like a giant snake though, just not one I would ever want to meet.

    My initial reaction was mud. No way does an animal that size survive there. It would need to eat 3 burms/aligators a week to stay alive, and florida would not have an alligator problem.

    I thought I remembered that pic being photoshop. Also the first I think it was shown online was in 2007.

    Re: 100 Foot Snake ?

    I think its fabricated. I could see the boat being a possiblity, but as I look at the photo it just doesnt really look like a boat. And I feel like it just doesnt match up with the picture.

    The wake doesnt match up as a boats wake. It has a double V. It suggests two seperate boats. And if it was mud pulled up from the bottom it would spread out more towards the end just because the silt would drift.

    My guess is it's fabricated.
