    Wild caught & Put in a box.
    I think the best thing to do (totally my own opinion) would be to id chip it, and radar it everyday in the wild (from once it came) to better study the species in their native habitat.
    just my own idea
    thanks

    What get's me is that one of the articles said that it was considered a God to the people where it was found. IF it was a God, why would they allow it to be taken? Just wondering

    I cant get the dad blamed video to show the picture. I get the sound of the man talking, but no pic. So it must be so big that it ate the camera.

    OK, i think I did it right-- according to the measurement given.. 6.5 to 7 meters. It comes out to like 23 foot. K, if I am wrong, someone correct me.

    39.37 inches = 1 meter

    x 7

    --------
    275.59 inches

    divided by 12 =


    22.96 ft. (average of 23 foot)


    Reading the story, it is very fishy if you know what I mean. So, 49 ft python - I think NOT!

    I was sceptical right from the start, now I'm nothing but disapointed.

    Yeah, and even supposing that maybe they just brain-farted and thought that a centimeter was nearly the same size as an inch, in which case they would have calculated that 650 cm would equal 650 inches, or about 54 feet. Still doesn't jive.

    Anyone else find their hemming and hawing about how the snake's size changes depending on how recently it's fed or when the last shed was, etc. amusing?

    Personally, I think they were measuring the snake with the same ruler that many guys measure their "manhood" with...
