Oldest snake.

[angua21]

Hi guys, my little sister was just reading the latest guiness book of world records and when she read out the oldest recorded snake I remembered someone on here asking a similar question a while ago. Not sure if you wanted oldest living snake or what, but here is the oldest recorded.....

Popeye was a male Common Boa constrictor who lived at the Philadelphia zoo in Pensylvania USA until he died on the 15th April 1977 at the ripe old age of 40 years, 3 months and 14 days old.

I was told by a good source that that giant carpet caught---->"intergrade" could have been around the 50 year old range but obviously hard to tell from a wild animal,it's head was absolutely massive!!!!

Any know how to save a pic from a word document...i've tried but not succeeded?

[instar]

try "save target as" after right click Andy, Id love to see it!

or if its online post a link, maybe cut n paste?

Copy the pic into paint or some other picture program and save it as a .JPEG file.

[instar]

that might work, right click then "edit" should open in paint.

How did they arrive at the 50 yr old figure? Did they cut it open and count the rings?

A tricky question.

I open the document and do a screen capture of the picture, and save it as a jpeg.

Once work grabs it you have been microshafted and I have been unable to come up with a better way.
