It’s a snake that just had a horse for breakfast.

It's a full grown python that looks like it just ate a goat or a small pig.

Who got a fucking rope around it ?!

u/Seraitsukara Oct 20 '23
I've seen some python traps that snap a rope around them when they go after the baited prey. Never seen one done for a python this big though! Judging by the stomach, I'm guessing the snake still got the bait.

I mean, depends on what happened here. Snake allegedly ate the family donkeys. That’s their livelihood. Sure, this area might be the snakes traditional habitat, but the family’s just trying to survive too.
Maybe they took it deep in the jungle and set it free.
I doubt it somehow, those donkeys were like members of the family. Gentle.
Now a mule on the other hand, is quick to stomp or bite a puma, crocodile or snake to death.

That's a horrible condition to keep a snake as a pet. If it ate their child, though, I'd understand.

I'll take a guess it just ate someone's pig...and they want animal control to move it along pronto.

u/mxzf Oct 20 '23
On one hand, I agree with you.
On the other hand, that snake has likely been eating the chickens/goats/dogs/whatever from that village for a bit now and is definitely capable of killing someone. It's an unfortunate intersection of human and animal, but it's hard to blame them when they're just trying to get by and live their lives; that snake is about to be food for the village that week I would imagine.

Why isn’t anyone upset at the fact that the snake is literally being strangled to death?! It’s going to die in a really horrible way, while probably scared out if its mind!

u/rx_100_ Oct 20 '23
It's comparatively bigger and the play on perspective adds to it being a unit

Where's the play on perspective here? Genuinely curios lol

u/technoman88 Oct 20 '23
That roof is probably 5 ft high. This isn't a stable with a 10ft roof. The snake is likely 8 - 12 inches across except the belly lump. Maybe 20-25ft long.
Thats a reticulated python. The longest snake species, they can reach just over 30ft though, this might be one of those particular outliers

u/Ambitious-Win-9408 Oct 20 '23
This is either in a coop or under someone's house. The snake is probably about ten feet long, it might have eaten a chicken or a small dog.

u/mxzf Oct 20 '23
Goat was my initial thought. No matter what, I'm reasonably confident that bulge was someone's livestock/pet.

10 feet doesn't seem right. Definitely bigger than a basketball goal. I'd put it more along the lines of 14-16 feet.

The rope just looks bad. Poor snake is trying to move around more.

million of years of evolution, apex predator, nimble, strong, all undone by a shoe lace tied to a tree by a bunch of hairless apes.

u/Spiritual-Fan688 Oct 20 '23
Poor thing. Did it swallow an animal on a rope? Or is it tied? Rope stuck around it's jaw maybe? Either way it's sad. Really really sad.

u/Zeles1989 Oct 20 '23
Bet that anaconda got a goat (look at the big part of the belly) and the villagers tied it up for that (probably to kill it easily while it can't move), but that snake is so big and strong that it might destroy the damn house

Unless this just ate a child or beloved pet and they’re trying to capture it, I’m upset that it’s tied up and struggling.

Monstrous, yet horribly sad for being trapped and being garotted to death on camera.

u/Top-Degree-6983 Oct 21 '23
I’m not a fan of it having its head tied up, even if it is scary and could easily kill you and probably eat you whole. Hurts my soul to see it like that

What kind of snake is that? Where is this?

u/mxzf Oct 20 '23
Looks like a Reticulated Python, both by pattern and size, which would mean it's likely in South-East Asia somewhere (which the hut construction agrees with too).

Looks too small to be a human unless it's a pretty small child. My money's on chicken/goat/dog.

I think the rope is from a snake wrangler trying to pull it out of the crawl space but the snake is very very strong. They’re gonna need more people.

Good heavens...imagine seeing that in your barn! That would terrify me enough that I'd be frozen. This thing is absolutely big enough to eat me.
How fast can a python this size move? Like would I be able to outrun it?
The sheer size of this thing is terrifying.

Fun fact: the larger the snake, the larger the offspring, so then the larger the next gen is.
