80 pound 8 foot (really)female Water monitor

[wilomn]

LOL these posts are silly.

I believe that BG has the monitor, but if not, I do believe there is a Water Monitor that big somewhere in the world. If I remember this correctly, someone killed a Western DiamondBack here in Arizona that was almost 9 feet in length, and that's over their size potential. So, most of you disbelieve this 8 foot Monitor, but it's possible. I know a snake has nothing to do with this, but I'm just showing you that something CAN grow pretty damn large.

Ok Big Gastrocnemius, now you've got a kid, not a bid kid by the way, defending your claims of hugiousity.

Maybe it's time to put up or shut up.

Tiff, that claim about the snake was soundly refuted if I recall correctly. When you are using such as a base intended to establish a factual relationship to the subject at hand, it is best to have actual facts and not just folk tales backing you up.

LOL well I can easily believe a lie... though, I DID see pics of the dude holding up the snake, so for me that's just enough proof LOL.

Tiff, PLEASE think before you hit the post button.

If someone posts a picture, THAT'S all you need to believe?

Back to the end of the line girl, you just messed up big time.

I knew a man - an old man mind you - who had done what many considered "a lot" in the reptile world.

There were a few forums he would frequent, sadly he doesn't do much of that anymore.

To the uninitiated, he would often make outrageous claims.

To those who knew who he was, those claims were perfectly believable.

One of his favorite pot-stirring tactics was to start a thread about an outrageously rare or large animal in his collection.

For weeks upon end he would let people call him out, express their doubts and accuse him of lying - all while making jokes and increasing the doubt. Those of us who knew him well were warned privately to not ruin the joke....to let those who have been taught by the Almighty Care Sheet or who have drunk from the Trough of Internet Regurgitation whip out their pitchforks and torches.

Then when the stew was spiced just right he'd provide the proof and make a lot of people look like judgmental idiots. Case in point - all of you knuckle-heads who think the third person affectation is serious need to pull your heads out of your asses.

Now, I have never met Big Gunns and I have no idea what amazing animals he keeps.....but I've seen this played out before.

Keep in mind folks - some people have nothing to prove to you.............except maybe to gently point out how much you really don't know.


....or maybe Big Gunns is a big bag of wind. I guess we'll find out when he decides everything is spiced just right.

BG doesn't know who skiploder is, but he sure seems like a genius to Big Gunns.

Oh so sorry. I forgot your vast MONTHS of herp knowledge.....LOL

Would you two meanies stop picking on leeetle Coolio.

I've been keeping herps for 4 years now (I don't count the herps when I was little cuz I didn't know much about them), just not the Monitors too much LOL

Though, I seem to be doing most of the research for my sister and her baby Sav.

Don't worry kiddo, they're just showing you how tough they are by picking on you. Big Gunns is scared to death......or is he laughing his perfect behind off...one of the two.

ah I found it, to late to edit my last post pictures are worth a 1000 words right? so agin "BG" post pictures !

I found it ridiculously funny that you think "she messed up big time" by posting in a thread LOL. bp.net must mean to much for some people.

Not many people know me here so my opinion most likely wont matter much, but If it helps any I have seen alot or most of the Pics that BG has posted in the last couple years on another site I frequent and I'll have to say I have never been disappointed...he has some amazing things and If he says he has the monitor then I believe him....but thats just my opinion.

I don't think I've ever seen a thread 15 pages long without pics

What's up dude? Coincidentally BG's better half just popped in there today to look around. Tell BG's fans he said hello and he didn't forget them. Big Gunns had been in retirement, but needed to come out to clear up some Toffee- Candy mess. Unfortunately for some, once BG came out of self imposed retirement, he just couldn't shut up.

Tell them he'll be back with some very big news(yeah right BG). Big Gunns has been up to something. Unfortunately something has sidetracked him for the last couple of months, but he's almost done with the mess. When he returns, he'll be better, stronger, faster....and in HD.

ps. Every time they say "Steve Austin" just think Big Gunns.

All y'all getting upset about Big Gunns must be pretty sheltered, most car and gun guys are just as or more bullheaded than BG (and I mean that with respect, BG ). To be honest I don't see why folks don't like him -- he strikes me as an oldschool herper that knows his crap who doesn't really give a .... whether you believe him or not. Moreover, he thinks it's funny when y'all act a fool about his posts. So do I, honestly, whether he's being truthful or not.

Regarding the monitor, are y'all gonna form a committee to back up the claims of everyone on this forum? If BG says he has a 10 foot 120lb monitor, I believe him because I have no reason not to. If he's lying then he's the sad one... and BG doesn't strike me as the "sad" type . Why get all worked up about it?

Bottom line y'all are arguing and slinging insults back and forth with some guy on the internet about whether or not he owns a lizard. Go pet your snakes or something instead, it's better for your heart. That's all that really needs to be said.

In conclusion: . In that order.
