Yep, it is an African Rock Python. The email I received (and there is a bunch of 'em out there) said it was found in Iraq when it was actually located at the Silent Valley Game Ranch in S. Africa. The information I've been able to find said the snake was appx. 13 ft. long and had just eaten a full grown Impala Ewe. When it attempted to crawl under the fence it was, sadly, electrocuted.
