Anyone know if the snake was really killed?

That's why you came here?

We just watched on Netflix and my wife said that sure looks like a real snake. Who knows maybe that was lunch for the crew after the shoot.

The snake that initially appears behind her doesn't have the head of a viper; looks more like a constrictor, which would be a reasonable choice for a real snake on a movie set, since constrictors can be pretty tame. Also, a real snake probably wasn't killed -- during the stroke, we see mostly the knife while the body is severed off-screen. The rest of the body that he pulls out seems to writhe and struggle less than a real snake would after being cut through, so it's unrealistic that way, though you must admit the snake body does look real and alive - it flips around a bit on its own without him seeming to flip it as he would flip a fake rubber snake. Looking at google images of bushmaster snakes, the markings are not the same, so it wasn't a bushmaster, but of course they wouldn't use a real live bushmaster on-set.

We can only hope so.

I have no doubt that the snake that slithered into frame was real. The one that Jack decapitated, I’m pretty sure that was a prop. 🐍

That's the wrong question.

"Anyone know if the snake was really killed?"

Yes, someone knows.

That's the only answer to a question like that.

But there's more! It's not about 'if THE SNAKE was really killed', which implies no props could've been used, there was just 'THE SNAKE' and it was either killed or not.

A better question would've been, whether they actually KILLED A SNAKE or just 'hit a prop'.

Your logical thinking needs a lot of work, but then, that's probably why you can't figure out this kind of things for yourself, and have to come to discussion boards to ask inane questions instead of exploring some insight about the movie or how it depicts the world or whatnot.

"Did they really kill a snake?" would've been a better question. 'Anyone know' is bad grammar anyway, you should've asked 'Does anyone know' to even create a proper question.

To even include the word 'anyone' is redundant, since anyone CAN answer a question, so you could've just asked a question instead of uselessly adding a word like 'anyone' in there. Why add that? What does it change? Now that you added it, ANYONE can answer, but if you hadn't added it, only some people could answer?

So you are not even asking about the snake, you are asking about some mysterious 'anyone''s KNOWLEDGE.

People are answering the wrong question here, they should only answer about this 'anyone' and their knowledge base, not about the snake. The question is about whether 'anyone KNOWS' a certain thing.

"Does that entity know this thing or not?"
