Can somebody identify this snake?

"Dr Marcus" almost stepped on it on Sunday close to Mt Stenhouse. He thought it looked like a python. Correct?

If not, what snake is it?

Nice find as long as you don't find it coiled around your neck trying to suffocate you.

When I was a kid in HK, in the late 70s, early 80s, there was a story about an 18 ft python on Lantau that was discovered to have swallowed a 6 ft tall man. Did any of you hear that (back in the day), and was there any truth to the rumour? (The "rumour" was told to me by my mother. If I remember correctly, I believe she read about it in the SCMP.)
