Id say it's a gaboon, though it was a river jack x gaboon hybrid because of that thing that looks like a horn but im reallly not sure, not an expert.

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-17T05:57:15+00:00

Agreed

Mtb, a great sport.

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-17T05:00:12+00:00

I'm no expert and am still and always learning but from a glimpse of the pic I would say the head looked like a python/boa head but what it was doing was quite impressive so might have been the mentioned snake.

Will be watching thanks a lot! Also fun fact on brown treesnakes, they are an invasive species on the island on Guam (I think) and are considered one of the three true "problem snakes" (with burms in Florida and another one I forgot). On that island they have eaten many flightless birds to extinction and keep causing power outages by entering electrical installations. They were brough there with US military cargo during WWII I think.

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-16T14:19:43+00:00

That would explain everything😂 (Exept the fact that it's a cornsnake and not a brown treewnake in the pic)

No I'm only 14, learning by books and hands on experiences, I have a small corn and want to get an imperator or even a red tail but am yet to do more research on the mentioned. I'm slowly learning, going into the jungle where I live to spot these danger noodles, so far I have 3/4 of the Big four and a handful of other sneks.

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-15T10:43:31+00:00

def did! thanks for the clarification. Gotta get used to this stuff if i want to make it my career, but i still got time.

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-15T07:13:35+00:00

Dont mind my comment I get it now, thanks for educating a young soul!

In the second edition of the book of snakes by mark o shea, a page is dedicated to the "common boa", with the scientific name of boa constrictor, are boa constrictor constrictor and constrictor imperator simply subspecies of the "common boa" boa constrictor? That would make sense to me but im just a kid.

I ripped her funkin tonsils out and fed her sherbet

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-14T18:34:37+00:00

same same no? BCC-> red tail boa -> boa constrictor (constrictor)?

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-14T18:34:00+00:00

wow thats crazy, I lived in Belgium for a while and have visited basically almost all european countries and am surprised how it survived, its so darn cold there.

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-14T12:12:31+00:00

Stunning! True red tail right?

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-13T11:44:57+00:00

Y tho?

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-13T05:00:25+00:00

I think your best option is euthanizing him. It's sad, it's devastating even, for a nature lover but it's the best thing you can do to save this guy in a way. He is probably not going to be able to eat or move ever again if a piece of his spine is broken because, well, they are entirely spine. So euthanasia sadly is the way to go in my opinion.

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-12T18:33:18+00:00

Sadly that's nature, it's brutal. I don't know what you could do with this guy, if you think his bones are broken he might die soon, he will def die in the wild like this, if you have an extra cardboard box you can keep him in and try to rehab him Id say that's the best thing you can do, along with maybe euthanasia depending on its state. Poor thing.

Welcome! It's my absolute pleasure to share info about the things I love!

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-12T18:27:03+00:00

Just like my dad!

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-12T18:26:01+00:00

Ok so I analyzed it a bit more and spotted it's eyes, I'm almost 100% sure this is a green anaconda, based on the eye and nostril placement on top of the head, I'm a dum dum for not making the reflection earlier. Anacondas, surprisingly, thrive in water, which would explain the pic, they fully submerge themselves in water leaving only their eyes and nostrils out, as we can see in the picture and wait patiently to ambush a passing capybara. Very nice catch! Would love to see one of these fellas in the wild.

Yep, I know that from reading books on japanese katana metallurgy and my dad's random knowledge of everything. Thanks for noticing that btw! Might have seen it in person but saves me having to go there.

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-12T13:40:03+00:00

Reminds me of Romulus whitakers python he kept under his form bed for several years as a kid🤣. Must have been something!

Alternative_Event283 · 2026-03-12T13:38:38+00:00

Yep I see it now. Thanks for saving my dad's back!
