Largest snake ever captured!

[palme]

Just heard about it on the news........it's from Indonisa. It's the worlds largest captive snake. They feed the thing five dogs a month and it weighs something like a 1000 pounds. (I appologize to our european bros but I couldn't remember what the conversion was for stones.......is 14 or 16 pounds that equal a stone?)

She's real folks.

STONES!? Do you think we are british!?!? We use KILOGRAMS over here oldtimer
If you check my first post i stated that it weighs 992lbs/450kg, almost ½ a ton. So bigol'legs can legpress 4 off these monster snakes

both anacondas and reticulated pythons (pictured) can grow to be 28 feet or more in certain cases...close to 30 feet is not uncommon for these two breeds of snake

Its all a fake.. Yea its a big snake, but its not 49ft long.. Its less then half of that... Its a poor part of the world and news like this is great money for them.. Its all fake.. Even if it was 30ft, they could receive the $1,000,000. But they wont cause its not near 30ft.. I am sure of this... dont be fooled.

there is no way in hell someone would hold a retic like that with his head to move freely. If a snake that size bit you you wouldnt have any skin or muscle left

"A local tribe kept the snake as a leader"

Some of those 3rd world countries confuse me...I am originally from the middle east and it takes alot to fluster me...once again, I would poop my pants if I ever saw that. Even watching the video I looked under my desk to make sure there was nothing there.

[adamw1]

When they are pissed off at you and thats often enough for me they frighten the **** out of me haha

The video said it ate 5 canines a month...how often do snakes eat??

I believe this, my pythons always ate 2-3 times during the summer, but as Winter would set in and it is generally hybernation time for them, my snake would eat maybe once or twice in a 2 month period
