The snake is only about 2.5 metres long which is hardly "huge".

The zoomed in camera angle tries to make the snake look large however the built elements in the background & foreground give it away.

Have you took into account sunlight and lens used on the video camera?

Was still good for a laugh.

When the clip starts, the camera passes in front of a star post/picket post/dropper. These are about 30-35mm wide. As the camera pans there is a panel joint in the background with a 6mm bolt. Having worked out the scale of the made items, the panel length can be guessed and so the length of the snake.

You've put a lot of thought into this are you a hornby, mecano or a model airoplane type of guy?
