At 7 feet long and 87 pounds, go look at a turkey in the grocery store and you will get an idea of how big around 12.4 pounds per foot is. Of course, that does not allow for any taper at the head or tail end. The math is simple and the story is ridiculous. Too bad we no longer teach children to think in school so now they wind up being adults who will believe anything in print.

So how friggin' big must the bucket of that loader be? Even if that snake were 7 feet long (which it's not) it would weigh less than 15 pounds I would guestimate...
This snake was 6 feet long and weighed about 18 pounds fully stuffed:
