Here is another pic of the same snake.
Looks like he got pizzed off when that electricity hit his big butt.

Here is the real story behind the picture. Interesting,---- The snake had eaten a impala whole.

African Rock Python (Python sebae)

The Rock python is Africa's largest snake. The rock python eats mammals and birds.
Lays up to 100 eggs about the size of a tennis ball in antbear (Aardvark) holes, hollow tree or similar suitable place. The female coils herself around the eggs to protect them.
The snake in this picture had eaten a full grown Impala ewe and, sadly, caught itself in an electric fence.
Over four metres in length, this was a large specimen.

When the python was skinned we found a full grown Impala ewe had just been swallowed.
The python kills its prey by coiling itself around the animal and constricting it. When the animal is dead the python swallows it normally head first.Having swallowed its prey, the snake will find an abandoned burrow or hollow tree in which to hide and digest it's meal.

A view of the python's mouth. A python's bite is not poisonous but would be very painful.

That fence she's caught in is around an oil rig to protect all the homeboys working inside the fence. That little ole thang wouldn't hurt anybody. It really isn't that big of one I think they get up to around thirty feet. Looks like something cut off a portion of its tail once before.
