I googled "Australian King Brown Snake"; they don't seem to get over 8 or so feet long. Also, not that big around. Probably a python or anaconda? About 50 years ago, I worked in Venezuela in the oil business and one night in a rain storm I ran over a huge snake that stretched all across a two lane asphalt road (warming his belly?). Nearly wrecked, because I thought it was a joint of drill pipe that had fallen off a truck. We skidded across it with the brakes on, probably did a lot of damage to the snake. Neither me or my companion had the guts to go back and investigate. In fact, we were both afraid to get out of the truck when we got to the well site; afraid the snake had hung up underneath the truck. Finally both threw open both doors and ran like h@#l.

It could only be either a reticulated python or anaconda (if its real!); this thing in the image appears to be at least 25 feet long (based on its proportional relationship to the background fence sections).

However, I doubt it is either; both of these species are caught in Florida from time-to-time, in the wild (discarded by distraught pet owners): I vote for Photoshopped fake.

I'm guessing it's a 'Photoshop' snake. They come in all sizes.

Snake in the grass. Reminds me of my first wife's brother. Those types are all over Florida.
