Fish pictures don't lie about size either.

I love snakes. That is a really big eastern diamondback specimen!

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Arrow it's not a fake i don't think

dig this.... i lived in an area that had LARGE KING SNAKES
and those snakes definitely got that huge....
(these snakes eat rattlers)

How do i know? well one day i was going home
and thought there was a long Limb laying across
a nine foot wide driveway so i purposely drove over it
with my VW bug to bust it up for later retrieval
driving over it with a BUMP -BUMP first front wheels
and then back wheels.

I looked in the mirror and then realized it was actually a snake
that was pure black.... as it was writhing in pain for a moment only.

i ran up to it and didn't see even the slightest injury
as it quickly started going down a gopher hole
so i grabbed it and was trying to catch it using every bit
of my strength and i am a very strong man
trying desperately to hold on using
every trick i knew and i was out gunned totally

Soon i was down to the last three feet
and there was no stopping it! i essentially
was getting SPOOLED and it got away.

I love the beer he has on the ground, drinking and poisonous snakes, always a great combo.

Growing up we had some big pythons and boas as pets.

Biggest was a 14 ft Burmese python, use to eat big rabbits.
