That is an African Rock python, and that pic has been edited. That's not really what they look like.....

That poor rock python died that way.... here's the only link to it http://www.bushveld.co.za/pictures-python.htm
I'm pretty sure what happened it ate its meal looked for a place to rest and digest it, went through the fence, the fence started shocking it. The snake went to attack what was hurting it and got caught and well ..... fried.

To me, it looks like that site is making stuff up. I have a vet that will confirm the fact that the teeth are edited in. Also, if the pics originated from that site, how come everyone is posting great quality, high resolution photos and the site has small, crappy ones?

Weird site, not worth the time ;-)
I hate navigating to much to see stuff...couple different links, fine...but enough is enough, lol.

The main thing that gives it away is the second row of teeth in the top jaw-they only have one row on top and one row on the bottom.
Also, why would a snake that just ate attack a cold, wire fence? If it got electrocuted, where are the burns?

Constrictor dentition: Most snakes have two rows of teeth on each upper jaw and one row on each lower jaw. All of the teeth are short and hook-like. All non-poisonous snakes have constrictor dentition, regardless of whether or not they actually constrict their prey.

Ever took into consideration that it was a low voltage fence? If a victim is held there long enough they will die but most likely from cardiac arrest, no burns. I could ask my dad more on the issue if needed; he has been an electrician for about 25 years lol.
b. Electricity can induce ventricular fibrillation, cause respiratory arrest or “freeze” the victim to the electrical contact point with powerful muscle spasms that increase the length of exposure. Victims of low voltage electrical injuries may have no skin burns at all yet suffer cardiac or respiratory arrest. http://darwin.gborocollege.edu/departments/physed/Courses/PE_222/burns.htm
If you want a good example there were some guys where my dad was working that would come over and take a leak on the fence behind his work. Well to get them to stop my dad wired the fence, set a low voltage, and waited for them to come back once they started to go, he’d flip the switch, poor guys couldn’t stop peeing till he’d flip the switch back off, but it got the message across. Didn’t kill them but could have. This was a long time ago and when he was stationed overseas.

Good point kim, low voltage wouldn't leave burns...

ok, so much to my dismay-and GeckoTracks' pleasure, I am wrong about this. I was given bad information and I passed that on to everyone else. There is still some speculation as to whether or not the front teeth on the inside of the top jaw are real, but I'm personally not sure.....
