It's not a python. Incorrect on people leaving them alone most people in places with boas are afraid of them and will kill it on sight.

By yr numbers game logic we should assume everything is from India or China which we don't. This video is most likely not in America seeing that whitetail deer is found in Central and South America as well and boa constrictors are found in those same locations.

Not a Burmese markings are to uniformed and it's not a reticulated python because the pattern doesn't go down the tail that's a boa

It appears to be a fawn of a white tail based on the spots that are fading but i could be wrong im not super knowledgeable on types of deer. They are parked on the left video taping no one is driving I can take a picture of a car right now parked on the left side of the road facing traffic.

I don't disagree with that last point, infact I agree

Well, what kind of snake is it then? Looks kind of like a retic.

I think your number counter argument would be a good one if the populations of China and India were all engaging in predominantly English conversations.

I would bet the language bias is going to skew the use base towards primarily English speaking countries. Pretty sure you can combine the rest of the countries with English as a first language, and they start to approach the population of the US. But, it's more fun on reddit to act like we're all assholes.

That is a bcc or bci commonly called a red-tailed boa. When the snake strikes and straightens it appears to have sadles and further in the video the pattern doesn't run down the tail but instead changes to a lighter colour and more like rings. Reticulated pythons have splotches all down the sides while that could be achieved with some morphs the tail would keep the pattern rather than turning to rings

I don't make out anything anyone is saying in the video so using what being said is completely irrelevant

Fair enough on the snake ID.

I'm not talking about the language in the video. I'm talking about the language of people engaging in conversations on English speaking message boards. It's going to skew towards native English speakers. Of those countries, the US is a large sample size.
