Heres a big python story.....
My Dad is up over chrissy and we were talking about my new found interest in snakes. He told me he saw a big python in Viet Nam in 1971, outside a yank boozer. He said it would of been over 20ft. In that same boozer was a photo of a yank running out of the water (in a river somewhere) with a big python chasing him. Dad said all you could see in the pic was a large head sticking out of the water and a bloody great bow wave. Wouldn't that ruin your swim
Dad didn't know if the python outside was the same one in the pic. |

Actually they get sighted all the time often well in excess of 4o feet but oddly enough these animals are never captured or even photographed.

They have been found over thirty feet redline but that was a while ago,they are still surprisingly common the retics even in some built up areas.I would here stories from locals in leyte of retics like coconut trees and of one that was seen to cross a road and swim off in the ocean.They would tell of the young pythons in the roofs of houses and the guy that was eaten buy a huge one in the mountains when he went down a track for a pee at a bus stop.The retics in the phillipines looked quite different in pattern to the ones i mostly see on web sites and zoos,beautiful pythons! |

Oh well now two answers at same time redline,at least you got to keep some boa thatd be cool,the balinese type sounds interesting |

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Dec-04 Location: Somewhere near Brisbane | | | | Yes I didn't get to actually see any live ones when we were there but they were supposed to be quite common. It sounds bad but I didn't even know they had them on Bali, as a lover of Retics I should have known.
