Wow, it sure looks huge. I wonder if there is any trick photography going on with that photo

[singingtothewheat]

I've seen this with a discussion. The angle of the photo makes the snake look much bigger than it is. Estimating that the cage on the machine is 6 foot. The snake is probably 12-18 foot. No monster

Yeah this was the supposed 50-60 foot python in china. Its not. Its the camera as just stated. You can also look at the shovel part of the machine and you can see its not as big as stated.

Woah.... big snake.

I believe there is already a thread with an in-depth discussion on how they use perspective to make the snake seem larger than what it really is. In actuality its about the size of an average adult retic if I'm not mistaken.

These things also look so big until a tape measure shows up.

FAKE, the Retic is about 20ft closer to the camera than the people! If you beleive that Retic is that big, then take a look at the human sized yellow leaves on the right side of the pic lol!

i don't believe the retic is 20 feet closer to the photo.
