Will monster size Snake be proven this year?

Background: Scientists have recently unearthed the fossil of a 45 foot long snake which used to eat crocodiles for snacks.

More recently pictures have emerged of what appears to be an even larger snake which may still be alive today. Locals in Borneo claim the existence of the snake but others are disputing whether the photos are genuine or a production of photo editing software

I've seen a million photoshopped pictures and that one is clearly fake. There is no part of the snake submerged. Even if the ladder is extending out the water, a snake cannot balance like that and still remain smiling. TOTALLY FAKE! WHERE IS THE SHADOW!?!
