Oh No!! Not another "Is this real?" post!!

I was just looking at snakes online, since I am in the market for one and saw this pic on a snake site. It's a beautiful Rock Python! They are very really and get very big. Where I live they are almost being banned as pets due to their size.

its an African Rock Python (Python sebae) as someone mentioned

The Rock python is Africa's largest snake. The rock python eats mammals and birds.
Lays up to 100 eggs about the size of a tennis ball in antbear (Aardvark) holes, hollow tree or similar suitable place. The female coils herself around the eggs to protect them.
The snake in this picture had eaten a full grown Impala ewe and, sadly, caught itself in an electric fence.
Over four metres in length, this was a large specimen.

it has that picture on its site
site with that pic and source of quote

It ate a chevy?!

You know what they say about eating before diving through fences...

But seriously Cug, appreciate the info. Appreciate the cross-verification too minniescar. Amazing stuff.
