If not fake, then it is larger than the supposed largest venomous snake on record, the 18'+ King Cobra. BM's max out at 14', though through infinite growth characteristics of all reptiles, who knows for sure?

Looks like a black hose and head, though very well done.

I can't tell if the picture is right or not but do believe that what is now accepted as largest for reptiles might not actually be the biggest a specific species has ever gotten or could still get sans mans interference. I remember my family had some missionary friends that had done years of missionary work in brazil, they had a 25' snake skin if I remmeber correctly, I don't know if that would be a python or a boa, it's frigthening regardless.

My uncle saw a python (we think, a big constrictor) in the Philippines a couple years ago that was massive, I think from what he says maybe 8-10" diameter, big enough that it slithered right across the top of his glass shard encrusted wall at his house there without any problem or apparent ill affect.

Way to go Blank.... a giant brown snake

Any snake over 8 feet is one hell of a snake, poisonious or not.

Just received this photo today from a PH friend in Namibia. A measured 3.5 meter black mamba. For the record, I grew up in South Georgia and Florida around big rattlers. These mambas scare the heck out of this country boy!
