Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Looks like an African Rock Python. Where did you find that picture? I knew they had large teeth but whew those are mighty big.

A friend of mine emailed me the photos.They are from the Exxon/Mobile compound in Luanda -Angola, Africa. This is a fence around the compound put there to keep animals, and people, out. There are several outside and inside strands that are electrified but the actual fence is not. I assume the charge from the electric fence made him strike at what was hurting him and he got his mouth caught. You can see from the patterns in the sand that he did not die instantly. Its a shame that something that has made it that long not bothering anyone had to die like that. Although I can see why they need the fence! And, yes, I squirm every time I think of those teeth!

Maybe an Exxon employee. I bet they took revenge on us by raising gas prices again.... *shakes fist in the air*

Definitely, an African Rock...<sigh> now I want one again. They are actually great snakes, if you can get past their reputation (I used to have a bunch of them, between purchased and rescued)

Looks as if the snake was posed in that position. Look closely at both photos....
