Morganza Snake photo hoax

[oleheat]

could be by a drive way of some sort... doesnt have to be a highway.

FWIW- The e-mail I got last night said "on the side of the highway by the Morganza Spillway" according to the mystery photographer herself....That would lead one to believe LA 1- and that is not LA 1....

Tell you what, though..I could see where that thing could provide a serious amount of crawfish bait. All you'd need is a good cane knife!

Here's a photo I took outside of Slidell. Should get picked up by the media soon:

Send it in to WAFB & NOLA.COM, quick- they might actually run with it!!!


Or maybe we could tell them this was spotted near Grosse Tete earlier today by some fishermen....

Looked like a Kind Cobra snake in the original pic. Dont guess Ive ever seen one around here though except at the zoo.

This same picture was posted last week on reddit, before Morganza was opened. It might be real, but it's not from Louisiana. From what I can gather, its a King Brown snake in Australia.

That pic is fake and I dont even belive its a king brown. It looks like a very skinny green annaconda. I have taken pics of a LOT of snakes outside and they dont come out shinny and plastic looking like that one. The other thing is the shadows. The tree shadows are pointing in a different direction than the head of the "snake"

Real or not it scared the s##t out of my Wife.

Allthough the snake may be real I dont think its in southern louisiana at all because there are no guys in white boots Chooting it to death.

Yep...I'd have one or two shake photos of this thing, the others would be still and showing a lot of brass...sure way to know this wasn't in Loozianna...no body was chootn it.

Sorry Grits...surely we can agree on something, just not snakes

Lokks like we agree it wasnt around here. If a snake that size was loose im sure i would be getting a call anyway . Do they even grow cane in Morganza?

I hope someone chot dat ting

Although reticulate Pythons can get this big, even in captivity, and they are becoming prevalent and thriving in the Everglades, I think this sighting would have caused more of a stir here in Louisiana. The national media is clammoring to get stupid stories like this as a result of the Morganza and Bonnet Carre openings.

So, a person is driving along a road, sees a snake that could eat his/her car, takes a photo of it, and just mosey's along? What about subsequent cars? No news of this? The biggest snake a regular joe would have ever seen in Louisiana?

Remember, this was caught on camera in Louisiana too!

Holy guacamole!!!! In reference to another recent thread, I would shoot and kill this without positively identifying it. Where did you get this terrible picture?

On a game camera, of course.

Oh yeah, man...all around the area. (Not in the middle of town, though. But down Hwy 10, and on LA 1, it's pretty much everywhere.)

Still, the dreaded "Louisianaconda" hasn't arrived here yet- knock on wood.

Several weeks ago while stepping into a boat behind my house, I noticed a large snake between the toons, I did not pay much attention to it. But moments later it swam out from behind the boat and I noticed that it was a Python. It swam across the bayou and disappeared in grass near the bank. I'm guessing that someone's pet got too large and they released it in the area.
