Here are some pics from my BIL trout fishing on our land in Upstate NY from this morning. He came across this he saw some crows picking at it it was dead.

Is this a damn Ball Python?? It was 39 degrees there this am….

Looks like it to me someone’s pet died and they thru it out would be my guess.

There is nothing around us up there for 1/2 mile other than some farm houses… Weird.

It does look kinda like a python due to the head shape.

Yea but, that short fat body. I admit the pattern is not quite right for a copperhead but pattern is not at all like any cottonmouth that I have seen.
