Not something you would want to take a nap while doing.

That snake is dead as free lunch boys ! A python is a powerhouse, look at how limp the body was when they were pulling it out-and how flat. Those well tanned fellows were paid by some Frenchman trying to pull a fast one. I KNOW Africans, and the chance of finding one willing to stick his leg in a snake hole,nevermind being ingested by the bloody thing has about the same chance as Obama shaking hands with a Saudi king. Not going to happen.
Nice Try

I like how they kept wiggling it to make it look alive.

The same way a snake moves after you bashed its head in.

There is no way in hell they could a python out of a hole like that unless it wanted to get out.

Dave I think you are correct. Africans seem to have a total fear of snakes. In addition, it did seem "flat".
Peter.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

and i guess the random movement after it's head was cut off was trick photography.

as far as it being flat, when a large constrictor has not eaten in 4-6 months(and they can go up to a year without food), that is exactly how it looks. when i don't feed my pythons a rabbit at least every 2 months, they lose a lot of body mass and look just like that. don't jump to conclusions with a basic knowledge of large constrictor biology.

Damn, one sure learns a lot on AR.
Thanks, Peter.

Sorry boys, but you do not need a degree in constrictor biology, but I have been around quite a few,seen some messed with and observed their reactions. It ain't like the video! I saw Shockey and a team of diggers chop one out of a hole in Cameroon a couple of weeks ago on the tube and it was a rodeo and a half !
If I had a snake for a pet and it reacted like that I would consider a preacher and a plot at the pet cemetary..
