Ok guys, Before scrolling down to see the pics, read this...




This is a snake caught on an electric fence at a sheep/cattle station near the New South Wales town of Nyngan.

Some tourists were on holidays there and came across this snake caught in an electric fence,
being continually shocked and growing VERY angry.

The group of tourists wondering what to do, decided to divert the current, cut the wire
and let the snake go... (thinking this was the humane thing to do).

But when the property owner found out he went ballistic, besides being upset about his fence,
the snake had been eating lambs in the area, and he'd been trying to track it for months.
He did not appreciate the help.

Now, Australians are used to encountering a big snake or two, but get a load of this...

that thing is a shark on wheels, i love this planet

Someone on the ESP forum put it best: "That thing is a living throat with teeth"

wow this is awesome.

damn, didn't know they had rows of teeth like sharks. what kind of snake is it?

Screw rows of teeth. I think that thing ate a wolf and is just using it as a second set of jaws.

I thought this was gonna be another thread about my dick

I don't know where New South Wales is, I'm thinking it's in South Africa so it could be a Reticulated Python, those fuckers get pretty big, they're bigger than an Anaconda. And the teeth are to help to grip their food, I have a 6 foot Argentian Boa, you'd think he wouldn't have teeth because he's a constrictor but it hurts like a son of a bitch when he bites. He only does after he's done eating, he gets bloodlust.

Yeah I can read. it's Australia, I have no idea what that is then

"July 2005, only one correctly identifies their place of origin: a game farm in South Africa. Specifically, the snapshots were taken at the Silent Valley Game Ranch in the Limpopo Province."


"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.

When the python was skinned we found a full grown Impala ewe had just been swallowed.

The python kills its prey by coiling itself around the animal and constricting it. When the animal is dead the python swallows it normally head first.Having swallowed its prey, the snake will find an abandoned burrow or hollow tree in which to hide and digest its meal.

A python's bite is not poisonous but would be very painful."
