Python?

Well, a friend was coming to visit and when he arrived he was all excited. He said he saw the biggest snake he has ever seen crossing the road a block from my house. After reviewing pictures he decided the closest picture to what he saw was a Burmese Python. Naturally, I rushed down there, but the scrub brush was too thick to see anything. I've been looking several times a day and will be curious to see what it is. Every time he told the story the snake got larger, but his wife said it was quite large, over 8 feet but not quite 10. While I love snakes, a Burmese isn't high on my list.
