and tell me what you see. The snake is allegedly a "python", one of two "pythons" found in some guy's backyard in NJ. Now, I have either had at some point, or closely know people who still do, pretty much every morph of Burmese Python, along with many Retics, and of course, many Colubrids, but this does not look like any python species or morph that I've ever seen. Head too small, pattern all wrong, plus any python of that length is going to be much heavier, even a Retic. From what I can tell, it looks like a really large Pituophis, possibly a Northern Pine(native to NJ) but more likely a Bull. That rear body pattern looks especially Pituophis to me. Click on the pic and then zoom in and see what you think. I thought maybe a Labby or a Granite Burm, but Googled a lot of pics of those and none have that rear body pattern, not even close.
Lol, guy claiming that an albino python was worth $8,000.00...we need to get that guy buying at some of the shows!
