Are large snakes really cryptids?

[skookum]

How big is the tree?

[JGirl]

yep big snake.

[Feenix Fire]

That's either a very large snake or a very small tree.

Cool post but no I don't think huge snakes aren't crytids.

Cool pic, thanks for posting.

At first glance It looks like an Olive python, but It has a pattern like a scrub python, reticulated python maybe?

Cryptids are yet to be discovered, out of place or unexplained animals, so I would suppose that a giant snake would be considered a cryptid.

The fellows over at www.cryptomundo.com seem to think so, at least.

I can't seem to find it, but I swear they had an article explaining why they classify giant snakes as cryptids. Oh well.

Undescribed, unusual, or outsized variations of known species [e.g. the giant anacondas reported from Amazonia or the spotted lions of East Africa];

That would appear to be a large snake, nonetheless, however, the internet doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to giant animals....

fake! just kidding. but it doesn't really look that big to me

[George Ford]

It's not that big. I've seen bigger snakes then that. Plus the tree is probably not that tall. Could only be about 13 foot high.

I think it is a combination of big snake and small tree.

A quick Google shows that reticulated pythons can get to 9 meters long (30 feet). This one is probably not that long.

The snake is about 150-200% length of the height of the tree. unless a lot of it is not seen. In which case if it a 10 foot tree (Not unlikely looking at the leaves of the nearby trees), then this python (?) is probably around 15 to 20 feet long. Big, but not world class.

It's not a true snake anyway, it's a legless giant hyrax.

[Manc_Lad]

There have been pythons as long as 50 feet caught/spotted in the wild. Nothing out of the ordinary or undiscovered here.

That snake doesn't look too big.

That's how those idiots operate over there. They claim that a big snake is a cryptid and then somehow use that to infer that this bolsters the possibility of things like bigfoot and loch ness exist.

It's just your average sized boa. They get very very very big.
