You have to see this//Electric Fence

snickers · 10-08-2007, 10:51 PM

I put this here to show that the best fencing cant keep everything out.
Scroll down to get a shocker.

Seems a sheep farmer was puzzledabout the disappearance of some sheep on his farm. After a few weeks the farmer decided to put up an electric fence.
About a week later, this is what he found!

Now, I know we've all heard of people being eaten by snakes & I bet most of us have said,
'If a snake tried to eat me, I'd blah, blah, blah & get away.'

Well, this is a Python & they're extremely aggressive & have a few teeth that they use to
hold their prey while they wrap around them & then constrict.
Could you get away if this one bit you & held on with it's
'few teeth?'
(Note: The wires are 10 inches apart.)

OMG - that thing is HUGE!

Is it ALIVE!?!? Where the heck was that? Thanks goodness we don't have much of a snake problem in Canada, much less anything like THAT!

RealFolkBlue · 10-08-2007, 11:04 PM

that's insane

I wonder what he did with the snake. Thats enough snake to make a nice hand bag and a matching wallet

thunderbaby703 · 10-08-2007, 11:10 PM

WOW! That is an enormous snake.

I'm guessing it was getting shocked and it attacked the fence? Did it get stuck there and die? Or is it still alive......

KatieMae · 10-09-2007, 06:13 AM

Lady_MCSE · 10-09-2007, 06:22 AM

I especially like the bulge in the first photo . . . you can almost make out front and back legs . . . *sniff*

Lopin · 10-09-2007, 06:32 AM

Eww!!!!! That was not the first thing I wanted to see when I got up!!

MustangKatie · 10-09-2007, 06:34 AM

I am glad that my snake is little!

Mav2007 · 10-09-2007, 06:46 AM

Note to self...don't move to Florida. That thing is a monster!

Carri · 10-09-2007, 07:00 AM

Yikes, that thing is scary! Poor sheep... I bet that poor man nearly died when he found it. I hope he disposed of it!

nomeanjean · 10-09-2007, 07:13 AM

Just to let everyone know that lives down south These snakes even though they are not native to Florida we have quite a few now living in South Florida around the Miami area and through the everglades. How is that for nightmares.

TanyaV28 · 10-09-2007, 07:18 AM

Oh my gosh that thing is huge. They probably will start multiplying down there because people let them go, just like the Iguana's there also. I just moved to Tenn from South Florida.

Mister's Mom · 10-09-2007, 08:04 AM

That is quite shocking!

Maybe this will calm some Floridians fears:

ETA: Of course now I am freaking out as I am going to Africa for a business trip in January!

Crazy4paints · 10-09-2007, 08:14 AM

Geesh, I think I would just *%$#@# on myself and die right there if I stumbled up, on something of that nature.. OMG!!!!!

cook1745 · 10-09-2007, 08:27 AM
