    Too bad there's no pics of the gardener that came face to face with that snake. Even if you like snakes, that would be quite a surprise party.

    That snake is not anywhere near 10 feet. I'd guess 7, max, and 5-6 would be more likely. With the man holding the snake in front of him there's a lot of forced perspective in that photo.

    No, but he does this for a living, apparently, if you read the article. Shirt is advertising...

    Agreed. 8’ at the absolute maximum, and that’s almost certainly stretching it I think. It looks a bit bigger in the video footage, but definitely not 10’ at all.
