yes they are real. they are very large constricters. you can tell by the teeth more than anything edit- they don’t have “fangs” they have sharp teeth that are meant to hold the animal in it’s mouth as it swallows it. they way they are curved make it so once they sink into a animal it is impossible for it to back out of the mouth ---
