Yep his belly sure is drawn in.

Might have been in a hole and the water came up fast and flushed him out?

Very possible.

Thats is a big'un probably around 5.5'. Their ribs will all look like that when they're ******. They do it to make their profile apear bigger than it is

It's a big'un, alright! Although the way the photo was taken makes it look like an anaconda. But I don't think its a fake. You got the email recently, but no telling when this actually took place. C'ya

Simple way to find out if true......call the State Park

yea you're right. You got me on that one

And surely there has never been a fabricated photo of a snake on the internet...no never ever

It stop raining by lunch here yesterday so it's highly possible the lake level came up and ran him out.

I'm pretty sure it aint fake the snake was just being held alot closer to the camera than it needed to be.It was probably a 5 or 6 foot snake but there must be something fascinating about holding a snake close to a camera because there sure have been alot of people that have done that.
