A Viewer Writes: Massive Snake Found This Morning

I just saw a big python or boa constrictor on Nanticoke Rd around 7:30. 2 state cops and county truck had him surrounded on side of Nanticoke Rd just before Levin Dashields Rd.

 Another viewer said: Looks as if it may be 10-12 feet long and very thick.

    They make such cuddly pets.

    You gotta wonder why people keep them. Is it shock value?

    As usual, they are not as dangerous as the black ones.

    It looks like it had a great meal recently. Hopefully it didn't eat someones cat or dog.

    Must have been a man that estimated the length...always exaggerating.

    I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but the snake in the picture is no where near 8-10' long. It's not even long enough to stretch from the side of the road to the first tire track in the road surface.

    Obviously a accidental or intentional release. While pythons could survive some winters around here, last one was too cold.

      Idiot. It's deeper than that. It's not a black snake or a Cooper head. This is a constrictor. If there are more and left unchecked they can reach 18-22 ' easy.

    These snakes are taking over in Florida and other southern states. It's a bad deal down there. Very dangerous. Little kids and animals have been attacked and killed. The reproduce like rabbits.

    pretty sure most people can figure out with little difficulty that it should be snake lives matter except for @2:30.

    11:41 AND 11:43... Do your research idiots... This is a Boa as had been previously stated... Boa's do not grow to be 18'-22' in length NOR are they an invasive species in the U.S. ANYWHERE...

    Burmese Pythons, a COMPLETELY different snake altogether are the invasive species "down in Florida"

    Y'all would think you'd be able to use Google...

    Saw that thing this morning, that thing was huge! It did stretch out to cover one lane on the road easily.

    Stretch Snakestrong must be his name, 417! I'll estimate 3'-4" comparing it to the 4 " wide stripe on the roadside. Maybe he was longer when you saw him!

    Must have just found a good sized Norway Rat to eat! Non- poisonous.

    LOL at the "surrounded"! Nobody wanted to just walk up and pick him up, put him in a pillowcase? LOL! Probably as docile as a kitten after that meal!

    based on the white stripe on the side of the road and the rabbit in its gut I would say between 6'1" and 6'4.5".

    Lived here for 40 years and own several farms and waterfront property. Never seen a copperhead in all those years but apparently they are abundant in your neighborhood. No pic = BS. You probably have seen a cottonmouth too. LOL
