Never going to Florida, ever!!

[Longcolt44]

I know this should be in the off topic section but it needed to be seen by all the membership. Most of you know how much I hate snakes, I don't like little brown snakes or big green snakes. This snake is in a class of its own and might just take, Baby", my H&R 10 gauge with 3 1/2" magnums to kill about 5 feet at a shot.. This is not photoshopped. This is what was spotted on Okeechobee extension west of the Turnpike in Ft.Pierce a hour ago....at least 20ft. I can not see anything that could make me go to Florida

Coooooooool Did they try to catch it? I bet that would be worth good money to a zoo, or snake collector. What is it anyway? One of the South American snakes? My neighbor was just asking me to ID a tiny rattlesnake she noticed sunning itself on the stone wall outside earlier today, if she saw that huge snake it would be massive heart attack time.

Dayummm!!!! I could use a new pair of python boots!

From my limited knowledge of these slimey, sneaky bastards I am thinking it is an Anaconda the outgrew it cuteness and was let out to roam. Big snakes with little brained owners are a problem everywhere. It ain't cute.

Looks like my brother. Judi and her Mosin's

I bet it's worth at least a grand

Like I said, I would cut it into 5 foot pieces from 50 feet away.

I could be wrong but I don't think Anacondas would raise their heads like that.

No idea, never met one, but it would make it easier to get a rope around it's head.

I bet it takes allot of rats and other critters to feed that one!

But, I bet that it tastes like chicken once you cook it.

Lottsa good eatin on that one, unless it's an endanger specie.

Back when I was a kid I wanted to be a Herpetologist (study of snakes & reptiles)... Been around all kinds of vipers and a couple different species of constrictors. I can't really tell if that's an anaconda or not, if it isn't it's a damn big python or boa, but my first thought was "Oh hell no"! But I gotta ask, did you take that picture? Reason I ask is that the girth looks a little unrealistically narrow, the head doesn't look that similar to an anaconda, and it's not quite as angular as a boa's or a python. And while they can swallow prey considerably bigger around than they are, that thing looks like it might struggle choking down a small to midsized dog.
I dunno, I don't think I'd want tangle with it, whatever it is...

A ,"friend", sent it to me. You wouldn't find me stopping to take any pictures.

and that there is the only reason I own a Judge. I just wish it had a 20 round cylinder for that slimy , no legs but moves anyways, ugly, should be a boot nasty a.. thing.

Did I mention I don't think there is such a thing as a good snake?

[Junk Yard Dog]

Rabbits and small kids probably, they are a real problem in South America where kids are on the menu, just ask a customer of mine who is from Brazil, he would shit his pants if he saw that thing.

I wonder how big a cage that would need?

[Junk Yard Dog]

A little something to leave watching my place when I am away

You can only keep it if you feed it lib..... I better not go there.

Well your friend is far braver than me. Something that big, I think I'd give it the right of way by about 50 or 60 miles... The thing that scares me about constrictors is that they're ungodly strong.

I recken maybe about 30' of 8" pvc tile would do it...
