Something Scarier than Enemy Soldiers Lurks in this Swamp

#Diorama #Python #Scary
This week, I found a box of WWII soldiers in rainwear at my local hobby store. I decided to create a diorama with them in a swamp… being snuck up on by giant snake, of course.

    I like the Congo shoutout. Not many people give the Congo the recognition it's due when it comes to large snakes since it mainly houses rock pythons, which don't get large. Although Remy Van Lierde's unofficial 1915 recording of a 50-ft snake has its fair share of skeptics, the Congo harboring some of the world's largest snakes seems a reasonable suggestion to me.
