On a farm in the north-west province of St Africa!!
This Fella tried to get through the electric fence and when the thing
shocked him , he tried to strike at it, check out the teeth !!
Hopefully the farmer turned the fence off and helped him out, but this is awesome. Hope its some new pics for ya'll

I have recieved several emails containing this pic.
1. Stated it was in New Zealand & it had been eating the sheep.
2. Stated it was in Australia feeding on farmers cattle.
And the rest I didn't bother reading I just deleted them because I was sick of seeing it lol.
I think there were also a few posts on here previously about these pics & somebody posted a link to snopes? where it gave a run down of the rumours floating around.
EDIT: Found the link http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/fencesnake.asp

HA I like that, electric snake, saw it first here on APS, btw i saw a chamelion snake was discovered in borneo. Frogs are the identikit for environmental change, maybe the snakes will just adapt and carry on
He has a pretty thick middle, maybe he ate something of the farmers

I highly doubt it striked at the fence, more like its mouth was opened for the photo

I doubt it would have had the capability of striking the fence unless it wasn't very high voltage and just couldn't get out due to it being stuck. If it was a big voltage, it would have been jerked around to much to strike I think.
