It's a 6 month old reticulated python. They get 20+ feet as adults.
As an adult, would that make it a couch???!!!
:D
 
I can guarantee you without fear of contradiction that there is no way in h**l that that snake is 6 months old. Using the guy that's holding its tail as a reference I would guess that snake is 8 ft minimum. A year and a half possibly. More likely two.
 
He is just over 7 feet. He hatched at over 2 feet. By the time he is 1 year old, he should be 10-12 feet. He takes 2 large rats a week. By the time he is 2 years old he should be 15-18 feet. They grow the most during the first year. He basically, feeds, grows, sheds, craps. That's about the extent of it. He sheds every 3 weeks.
 
Different pic for size perspective. The first one distorts him a bit and makes him look bigger than he really is.
