700 pound Snake pulled out of Lake in North Carolina?


Giant 700 pound snake caught in lake in Proctor,
North Carolina. The giant man eating python was
measured at 98 feet long.
Police were contacted to see if there have been
any recently filed missing person reports as a
snake this big could have surely eaten a human.
Giant Snake Found in American
Lake?
Epic Wildlife

This giant snake is massive and just gorgeous,
but it didn’t take long to find out that the STORY
behind it… was fake, just another hoax.

While the image is indeed real, I think the size
of the giant snake could have been exaggerated
due to the camera angle
Nevertheless, this snake is still huge, but where
did it come from? The markings on it’s skin looks
similar to that of a reticulated python native to
Southeast Asia.

After playing around with a little Google
translate, the mystery was finally solved.

Looks like a type of Boa.. Red-tail boa perhaps?
This giant python came from Indonesia and
after some rough translating, it turns out that it
was discovered this last Thanksgiving near the
village of Belinyu City.
It was found by accident by a group of
construction workers who severely injured the
reptile while knocking down a large dead tree in
which the python was sleeping inside of.

The workers put the dying snake out of it’s
misery and buried it.
It’s sad to see such an incredible animal killed,
especially one that could have been a new world
record size. I wish there were more pictures so
we could get a better idea of just how large it
was.
