The thread claimed the snake was one of two enormous boas found by workers clearing forest for a new road. They apparently woke up the sleeping snakes during attempts to bulldoze a huge mound of earth. This is Biggest snake in the world!!

“On the third dig, the operator found there was blood amongst the soil, and with a further dig, a dying snake appeared,” said the post.

“By the time the workers came back, the wounded boa had died, while the other snake had disappeared. The bulldozer operator was so sick that he couldn’t even stand up.”

The post claimed that the digger driver was so traumatised that he suffered a heart attack on his way to hospital and later died.

The dead snake was 55ft (16.7m) long, weighed 300kg and was estimated to be 140 years old, according to the post. Biggest snake in the world

    First of all that is not a boa that is a python. You can clearly tell that it is fact a Reticulated Python. Though these dont usually get that big. It is theorized that there is a chance they can reach that size. But this is not the case.

    Finally look at the size of the bucket thats holding it up compared to the size of the cab of the tractor. Completely out of scale.

    This is just a trick of perception. Now if you were to figure that the bucket was 4 foot wide (which is highly unlikely) That snake would only be around 22 feet long. Really that bucket is only 2.5 feet wide (based on the size of the tractor)which would put that snake at around 14 feet.

    Agree with Dakota dice….this is a great example of depth of field creating the illusion that the snake is much longer than it really is. Once you convince your mind that the bucket is much closer to the viewer/camera than the cage containing the driver then it becomes obvious.

    And, of course, they must kill it.
