It's funny you mentioned that too Larry,...because a while back, a friend sent me a pic of an Eastern Diamondback that was in the neigborhood of 5 plus feet that was needlessly killed in a shopping center, and the article "claimed" it was a fifteen footer..LOL! It was captured by a very looong set of pole tongs too, so it could have just as easily have been put into a bucket and relocated, but instead, the article made the "keystone cops" that did this look like "hero's" that saved everyone within a huge city block from certain death. This sort of ridiculous sensationalism always pisses me off big-time.
So Joe "hero" cop holds the snake way out close to the camera, and another officer was standing WAAY back in the background taking pics, giving the false illusion the snake was a huge mutant behemoth.
Apparently they think everyone is a complete idiot to believe it could even be possible,...but then again, most of the snake illiterate general public would more than likey buy right into it.
It was an absolute FARSE!..LOL!
