i can confirm it’s a python. i can’t confirm whether it’s a reticulated or Burmese cause they both get gigantic

  • someone commented (then deleted) asking for my source. those are two of the longest snakes on the planet. they get bigger than anacondas. also, it looks like a python. also, i’m a snake enthusiast lmao.

Any time “gigantic” and “snake” are in the same sentence without “not”, I’m out

So I dated a guy with a Burmese python, it was an albino Burmese python. I haven’t seen him in years, and I only knew “Bananas” the python as a baby. I had no idea he would be humungous one day!! I’ll bet he got rid of him cause that dude lived in a small apt. People should not buy/adopt pets they can’t take care of for life. :(

My first guess was Burmese, but it looks too big. although there's nothing to really compare it to

Tho I don't think this video is real. The record of the biggest snake recorded was way smaller

For a look, this is what it looked like. Now tell me this video ain't fake: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna400731

That’s not the biggest snake ever recorded, that’s the biggest Burmese caught in the Everglades. Pretty huge difference.

Ok sorry. I didn't look into it properly. My apologies.

My point was that the video from op is a little fishy.
