Has anyone seen this photo?

Claims of it being a King Brown seem wrong.
I would guess it is a Python or a King Cobra, anybody have any ideas?

The caption says it is from Branxton NSW Australia.

Thanks

Here is the actual news story.

Sorry the old girl had to die.

On a side note to Michigan, I was in Florday June 1st, 2010, and after a heavy rainstorm, the resort was overrun by these creatures. Can anyone ID this frog/toad?

Many of the Burmese Pythons that escaped and established breeding populations, were freed during a massive hurricane that went through southern Florida. Not totally the fault of irresponsible pet owners. http://www.reptileknowledge.com/articles/article22.php To answer these questions, we must go bac...

The locals still hunt them here in Michigan. They are still very common however, the technique is to find a lake, locate a muskrat lodge dug in the lake's bank, and stick your hand in there, grab the turtle by the tail and pull it out. One such local recieved five stitches on his hand last September...

Here is a Common Snapping Turtle I ran into June 10th 2010, in Clare County, Michigan He/she was near the road, so I thought I would lure it away. (which I did successfully) Here is a video of him trying to kill my shoe. Clearly shows the speed of their attack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SsgYza...

Note: They found the 10' Burm and Baby burm in the everglades, NOT in the subway.

Recently, on the History Channel, MONSTERQUEST had a show about giant, invasive pythons invading the entire southern half of the United States. They even went so far as to say that there could be breeding populations of Pythons in the sewer systems of northern cities, and sent an explorer into Centr...

Don and crew were here for 1 part of that series, want to know if it was staged? :) I'd like to know, especially since DON SCHULTZ told me, when I asked if they used any captive snakes for their shoots: "Well if the crew finds a snake, then I will say "Devon found this snake"". ...

What is this Austin Stevens show you are talking about?
Has it come to USA yet?

Also, On Don Schultz' show WILD RECON Tuesday, he was in S. Africa, He said "500 Species have gone extinct in thet last 20 years in S. Africa" is this true? It seems awfully high.

The nature serve site is only for United States and Canada as far as I can see.

If you have any HERP. related WEB resources, please post them here. Here are two that I use quite often. A diversity WEB from the University of Michigan http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/classification/Reptilia.html Natureservce Explorer, allows you to put in common or latin names,...

Here is an article contradicting the USGS claim that Burmese pythons would expand throughout the southern United States. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0002931 Here is the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) press release. http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1875

First it was the Burmese Python, now it is the African Rock Python.

As usual, the evil snake owner, unable to handle the snake is responsible, according to the article.

Does anyone know if the Giant Rock Python (12 footer maybe?) that Dr. Brady Barr caught was wild or a captive? It was the one where he said the local tribe was going to find one for him, and they put a hide cover on their hand and stuck it in the hole, and it bit the hide cover, and they pulled it o...
