Sorry but my husband and I are chuckling at this. We went through the EXACT same thing but with a 5 foot female BCI rescue. Okay you ask, how in holy hell can five feet of thick bodied snake disappear....well they can and it gives you a flat out heart attack! LOL Here's photographic proof...



This is that big female - though by this pic she'd grown to just a tad over 6 feet.
