Hi Marcus,
Where did you find the pic?
Thanks
Rusty

Never mind, Found it on BBC
thanks for posting it thou
Rusty

holy crap!
That thing wants to eat one of those spectators, check 'em out!
lol

That's a whole lotta snake.. :lol:

Thanks for posting that; I wouldn't have believed it otherwise.. :wink: But do you really think it weighs 1,000 pounds? That's like as much as a horse.. No way we are going to know for sure, eh?

it dosn't look 49 feet long........well maybe it is just the pic or maybe it is me

Could this be a touched up photo? Im still skeptical.

I want to know what Jeff Corwin has to say about this?

It almost look's like one of Wizill's creations with his paint pro. :lol:

And _-_-_ How do you pronounce your user name?

And Just how the heck do you capture, take down, a 49' anything? Little alone a 49' reticulated python.

Maybe he's a passive one :P

Yeah... right, LOL..

They need to let him strech out in a football field. then my husband and I will beleive his length. That is pretty big.
Thanks
Rusty

Yeah, and they don't supply any type of measuring devices to show, or even compare his size to.

If anything, I think we can safely say that the size and girth of that snake is impressive, but not record breaking. It looks more like a 20 or maybe 30ish foot snake to me.

if that snake is 49 feet long i'll eat my hat!!!!

it is however one huge retic
and there is no way it's 1000 pounds thats just rediculas

Heres another pic

i thought it happened in NY. clearly these pics were taken somewhere very far from NY.

Why did you think that? Don't you know retic's aren't even from America? :roll:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just playin' with ya....

Relative to spectators... I'm still not buying it. It is big tho, but 49 feet? Naw, 30 max. Well, then again, a not is not in the pic. I wanna see it come to America for some proper care. Needs to be completely flushed for parasites, bred with fluffy, and bam you got a giant line of retics. I just don't wanna see it die due to lack of care.

Thats a WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEE lotta snake!

Thats like the snake in the book "Where The Sidewalk Ends"... that eats the guys leg and then his body lol.

Ok, I just saw it on the news....and I guess there was a video of it all stretched out, but I missed that part. Ah well, I still didn't see any measuring devices. :roll:

i wonder how many ppl it took to get that snake into that encloser?? oh and iornhead i didn't ever think about saying it and i don't know how to pronouce it

VIDEO!!!

Man that's huge! Hear the part about the tribe that had kept it and called it thier leader?! Did they also say it ate like five dogs per month? Those fun luvin retics.......................

i bet it would eat my cousin hhuuuummmmm now that is something i don't wanna pass up she is about the size of a meduim to large dog???:D

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
Rusty

That would be really cool if they did that. Good idea :)

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.

It has been measured:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0...116074,00.html

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!

Hmmmmmmmm.........

All a scam to bring in revenue at the park.

I knew that sucker couldnt be as large as they said.

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...
