African Snake Vs Electric Fence ....

[ElDubya]

Looks like the fence won. Bugger going anywhere near that bloody snake though!! Check out the teeth on the bastard!!

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 trees or similar suitable places. 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.

I received that by email the other day. In the email it said that some army dudes cut the fence and let it go. They then told the farmer and he was pissed as he had been trying to kill it as it had been eating his sheep.

I got it from http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/fencesnake.asp

Still an impressive bloody reptile, no matter what it's origins ...

Yeah I know what you mean. I have never seen so many teeth on a snake. I didn't think they had any besides thier fangs. That could just be the blonde hair though.
