WOW- anyone know what kind of snake this is??

[truch]

I've seen this picture before. Because of the distance of the camera the scale is a little misleading.

The snake is an Australian Olive Python dragging a Wallaby out of the water. Olives get upwards of 10' though so it is still a pretty big animal, however, not a snake that could kill and eat a cow (only a huge Retic or Anaconda could *maybe* consume a cow). Awesome shot though.

I agree looks a lot like an olive. As for the prey looks like a roo to me,

i saw a pic of a afrock regurgitating a hippo once! and a guy wearing blue shorts too getting cutout of the belly of the snake in a pickup truck, was messed up

well i was going on google image search and i typed in carpet python and that pic came up. but i highly doubt its a carpet python. i clicked on it and the little subtitle next to it said kimberly fishing. lol

[plummer]

no its deff not a carpet python. i have a male Jungle carpet python and they only get up to 5-6 ft. and about 5-10 pounds.

While I totally agree that the snake in the pic is not a carpet python don't get to married to the idea that JCPs only get 5-6 feet. Given you have a male he proabally won't get to big and JCPs stay smaller on average then CCPs but I have seen an 8 foot female JCP and I just saw a HUGE Coastal at the last Lonestar Reptile Show, it was easily more then 8 feet and had the girth or a 7ish foot boa.

oh wow see at our reptile shows in Columbus,Ohio they usualy have Carpet Pythons bigger then 5-6 ft... so i guess i was wrong. thanks for tellin gme

Wow cool pic. Yeah looks like an Olive for sure. Looks to be a good size one at that.

Yeah watch out about the 5-6 carpets. Only carpets I know to usually stay that small are the Irian Jaya's. I have a 7' Male Jungle and a 7 ft. Female. I have had Coastals up to 9-10ft. But also depends on how you feed it.
