That's what I was thinking....

 

[junglepython2]

Plenty of timber from Indonesia as well.

 

[Barno111]

loooks different!

 

[beardy_boy_6]

it might be worth trying to find out where that timber came fromm

 

[m.punja]

very unusual. Where are you from, where did you find this snake and where was it released. At first it looked like a carpet Python badly damaged but now it's head looks so long and narrow, but then again the hand looks like it belongs to a Giant so it could just be an opticle illusion. Prehaps releasing it wasn't the best idea.

Just looked at them again, the 1st pic looks like a scrubby (not the pattern obviously)

 

[m.punja]

How big are scrubbys when born? I imagined they'd be born a lot bigger then that. Wouldn't have a clue but just what I would guess.

I was thinking Papuan scrubby but they to have the large shielded scale on the head which that one doesn’t

What I thought until you reminded me of the head scales...

either way it could be just a strange looking bashed up carpet, but if I had it I would take it to the museum to get it correctly IDed.....

nar I dont think its a Boa....I am 100% its a python, Morelia would be my guess

 

[ivonavich]

Looks like a very stressed carpet!!!!
I would be very alarmed if a wood shipment from Indo was carrying snakes that were being released into the wild!!! :shock::evil:

 

[fauce]

looks like morelia with scale damage to me....

If it is from indo, it does not look in good health and probably would not last too long, too young to be pregnant, and wont have any mates here so hopefully no harm done this time if that is the case.

Would a boa survive out here? Yeh reckon it would have been bettter to keep it for a while, get it properly ID and if it needed help, it could be yours or some one elses on a rescue permit. Odd looking snake all the same. I didn't think it looked to healthy for what it's worth.
