What kind of snake is this? I had a ball python when I was younger and remember tiny needle rows of teeth, I had no idea constrictors teeth could possibly get this large.....

again about the teeth, is this normal for all large pythons?

By now you know it is a African Rock Python (Python sebae). Yes, large constrictors have large, recurved teeth, needed to hold onto large, struggling prey.

I've seen the picture and article before, but just noticed. . .
The article say that it's an electric fence, but the photo shows wire attached directly to rebar posts with no insulators between the wire and the posts.
