    Siorry, but it is not true,
    Some folks went out to investingate the claim and it was just a hoax for media attention. Still a very large reticulated python (I do not remember the exact measurement), but it turned out to be a normal sized adult.

    I believe someone posted this already and it was not true? Maybe I'm wrong and it was something else.

    21'. i should mention, they clamed to hide the "real" 49' retic, due to some religious junk.
