Re: Killer boa on the loose in Australia
Seriously? They're afraid of Boas in Australia?? Lol, I'd be way more concerned about the endemic snakes around there than a little ol' boa... the biggest concern might be invasion, but, again, I'd think the competition would be enough to keep it under control. Yeesh.

Re: Killer boa on the loose in Australia
Wow, that’s pretty stupid. So... they’re concerned about a boa eating a kid, which has never been recorded, over getting bit by a venomous snake? Average length of 3 meters or 9.8 feet? Yeah.... no. People are afraid of the dumbest things.

They have scrub pythons and carpet pythons and olive pythons... all species that get quite a bit longer than a boa. I looked them up and they're not endemic to the area around Sydney, but I'd still think Australian wildlife authorities would know Proving that sensationalist news isn't just an American thing.

Sadly I have a hunch it will be treated like the invasive pythons in the Florida Everglades...killed? Hope I'm wrong.

The size of snake varies on the article..this one is 2.5m, another one I read it was 3m....if the shed skin is 3m, the snake isn't 3m. Ime, snake skins stretch on average 30-40% of the snake's length, but I've seen them stretch much bigger, and smaller. My 6'7" boa shed recently, and his skin measured in at 9'1.5"...talk about fearmongering. lol That snake is probably somewhere between 6'-7', that's not massive at all.
