I didn't know the snake was dead, sorry to have shown that picture.

Rocky, im not so sure it is dead. that does not look like an electric fence to me, there are no insulators between the wires and the fence post (unless that post is plastic).

 

[Rocky]

nah i read the news post, there is images of them cutting it open and stuff... not pretty.

 

[Miss B]

Yeah read the link I posted. Definately dead.

 

[jessb]

Yep, they explain that it was found dead on snopes I think.

 

[kakariki]

It is dead. The article show an impala in its belly. The post could be plastic but there are some woods that don't conduct [called insultimber ]. Bring on more weird and wonderful pics.

 

[bredli84]

im still not convinced that that is an electric fence. i have also read a few BS stories about that snake, i have no reason to believe that this story is any more accurate. the snake might be dead, the lump might be an impala and the pic of a gutted snake might be the same one as in the fence, but might not be.

I have seen that article before. The electric fence is on outriggers that lie halfway along the snake. It is like 2 low wires before the main fence. Another tell tale is the fact the snake has turn to bite the wire. One of my dogs used to turn & snap at the fence when she got zapped. There is also 2 wires on the other side of the fence, not visible in the pic posted.
Have just looked at the pic again & the wire can be seen in the top left hand of pic. Had the snake not bitten the fence he would have been hit by those wires on his way out.

check out snopes.com. they are usually pretty accurate and well-researched and they say its real.
