Australian Speed Bump?

[771subliminal]

By the way-that has got to be one of the largest wild Eunectes I've ever seen photographed. Even assuming the minimum width of a two-track dirt road, that animal is enormous. She stretches completely across, with quite a bit left over on the left hand side!I'd guess 22-26 ft easily.

that dont look like a two track that looks more like a two lane dirt road if you look close you can see two sets of tracks on each side of the middle

It's most likely just a picture from South America that somebody pawned off as Austrailia.

Please let me begin by saying, I can not comfirm the origin of this photo, or the exact species. I can however deduct that this may be an Amethystine Python, or 'Scrubby' as we affectionately call them. They come in a multitude of colour and pattern varieties. They are native to here- tropical north Queensland. And yes, we grow bananas here too.
Late one night on my way home, I very unfortunately ran over one. It's head and tail were still in the grass on either side of the road. This would make it a little bit bigger than the one photographed here. I have also seen dried skins that measure over 22 feet, and heard many accounts of larger ones being found.
A friend actually owns a local Venom Zoo, I'll try and confirm it with him.
Australia seems to have the monopoly on 'bitey things'.

I didn't realize how old this thread was until I got about 1/2 through reading it. No matter where the picture was taken, that is a HUGE snake.

Most definitely, no doubt in my mind, not a scrub python

P.S. welcome to the forum, how is all the way down there on the other side of the earth?

Yeah, I noticed it was old when I saw the green mod name I didn't recognize

Yes, after a closer look, the markings are circular and it is a bit on the 'small' side to be a scrubby.

It is supposed to be winter here, but the tropics are tolerably warm.

I haven't seen a snake in months, not silly are they!

Cheers, and thank you for the welcome.
