    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

    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!!!

    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.

    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. 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.
