Fake news. It looks nothing like James Carville.

They didn’t state, and it seems like the article was penned by a “full retard”.

Ok when I first read that I saw “world’s biggest snake” and that it was named “Dominica” and it was 29 miles long. Ya, that’s a purty big snake, there.

Is that a python you have in your pocket?

Is that Monty Python or Montee Python or Montell Pylon?

We used to sell 25 and 50 ft. “Snakes” in our family plumbing supply store. Should we claim a Guinness Book of World Records spot for the longest “snakes in a house drain?”

That is just wrong. Does it have children? That entire area should be nuked from space.

The profoundly in-depth article informs us that it can be up to 13 feet long. In a bid to include the readers in interactive reporting, we are invited to fly down there and hike out to wherever they dropped so that we can measure it ourselves. It’s been suggested that one should bring strong and swift friends for the stretch-measure-and-run part of the activity.

It’s kind of fun to pretend to be a Babylon Bee writer.

That wouldn't even come close to being the largest python. The Guinness Book lists their largest at 32 feet but there have been reports of even larger ones. 10 feet is a baby.

Anaconda. By no means the biggest.

The Crocodile Dundee was quoted as saying: “there’s a whole lot of gas in that one”. Honest

Longest is a Brazilian Green Anaconda that was 29 feet long and weighed up to 500 pounds.

Dominca island isn’t big enough nor has the prey species to feed a bigger snake than the documented largest.

Dominica is beautiful. The Emerald falls is stunning. The best part is the people are justly proud of their well run and corruption free island.

Go if you can and visit…despite snakes.
