   Python, I’ll guess Burmese.

   That is an African Rock Python, Python sebae. They get about 20 ft long. Beautiful snakes

   Alright, I’ll bite… given the limited scope of the picture, I’m going to guess giant anaconda.

   Did I win the new car?

   Burmese Python?

9. Taylor Reints responds: May 27th, 2011 at 4:32 pm

   Is it Python reticulatus, the reticulated python?

    The snake is a Burmese Python

11. Time213 responds: May 27th, 2011 at 7:02 pm

    Burmese Python.

    Ooops…. my apologies, jumped the gun too quick there. The correct answer is African Rock Python.

    Reticulated Python?

14. mystery_man responds: May 27th, 2011 at 8:51 pm

    I’m fairly certain that that is from a common boa constrictor. I used to own one as a pet and I am pretty positive that is what this is. Please let me know if I’m right.

15. mystery_man responds: May 27th, 2011 at 8:52 pm

    Oh right, species. boa constrictor. Yeah, the taxonomists were not having their most creative day when they named this one.

16. hellkat111 responds: May 27th, 2011 at 9:21 pm

    Looks like a reticulated python.

17. Cryptoheros67 responds: May 27th, 2011 at 9:39 pm

    Looks like a Burmese Python to me. Python molurus bivittatus

18. TimmyRyan65 responds: May 27th, 2011 at 9:45 pm

    Boa Constrictor?

19. teamsasquatch responds: May 27th, 2011 at 10:10 pm

    The Tsuchinoko?? Hah have a good weekend!

    But is the skin of a South African python (also called a Natal rock python; Python sebae natalensis) or the African rock python (Python sebae sebae)?

    The Natal rock python may be the “Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake” of Kipling’s Just So Stories.

    It is intriguing that the African rock python’s type locality given is “America” — an obvious mistake. According to Loveridge (1936), no type locality was given. According to Stimson (1969), it was “Guiara, Brazil.”

    Feral specimens of Python sebae natalensis have been identified in North America in Presque Isle/Erie, Pennsylvania, in August 1901 and the Florida Everglades in the 1990s.

    See Chad Arment’s Boss Snakes for other possible appearances.

    Hey! Those are my pants!

    Very obviously a coyote with mange.
