Large black snake!

• by Snorticus

  We haven't seen a snake in quite some time so cool to find this one! It holds quite still but head moves slightly in ACP000eg9i Any ideas what kind of snake this is?

  Sorry I missed your question Boleyn! I always saw them slithering away really quickly, but my feeling is we see a lot of the snake in the video, maybe 2/3 of him/her.

  Thanks Mimi. They are quite impressive, I've just read that they are 3 - 4 meters in average and the longest ever found had 5,59 Meters! 8)
