Judging by the car and assuming it's approximately six feet wide, probably closer to nine feet, maybe up to twelve depending on how much of its body is vertical against the wall, but nowhere near eighteen feet. That would be my guess - but I'm not familiar with Burms. The only time I've even held one was... oh... around thirty five years ago... Beautiful snake, none the less! Probably harmless exaggeration to emphasize that it was heavy.
Edit to add... just reread the 'news clip'... and I really hope the snake is okay. Falling from an upstairs window to the ground isn't good for any animal.
