Look at how he takes up an entire lane! That thing had to be pushing 1.8 or 1.9 meters and still was hardly as big around as my finger.

That first picture was later stolen off of my website and turned into numerous memes, many of which were shared tens of thousands of times. It then was taken by a software company for use in a viral ad campaign that was very successful. Finally, I was contacted by a board game company asking my permission to use the picture in their meme-based board game, which was the first I had known that people on Twitter and Instagram were using the photograph with abandon. I mean....he WAS a very photogenic snake, and I'm all for sharing pictures, but it feels dirty for people to just grab something off of someone else's page on the web and then profit off of it, especially the shady profits that come from viral advertising.
