1st time of seen it, thx, thats humungus

 

[justbrad]

thats bloody huge! pitty the basturds killed it...

It's not taken in PNG as its a reticulated python.

They would have to be stupid to kill it, the Americans are still offering a very large sum of money for a big one caught alive.

I think it's something like 30-50k:shock:

CHEERS TIM.

lol, seen this on here a few times. poor snake, i feel sorry for it ;(

I'm not sure, but that reward for a snake over 30' probably went to that village in south-east Asia that had a 40" Retic in a petting zoo...

I'll say that snake pictured is probably only 20' long really. Guessing the bucket he's hanging from to be 6' at most. Don't use the guys in the background, that could be 20'-30' away.

If you still think that is a large snake, you should check out these wind spiders....

Anyone have any guesses to how long that thing would be?
Edit: missed the post above.

Ive read it was 55 feet (16.7M) long, weighing 300 kg was estimated at 140 years old.
yep... i don't really believe that it could be 140 yrs old since they only live for 20 ( less in the wild)
cheers

Blowing the dust of this thread, this is ancient. 55ft that's over 16metres what a unit!

Ha! Don't know how I'd feel about being confronted with a snake that big. Its either kill or be killed, I'd kill it too if I couldn't call anyone to remove it.

So Anaconda's 60ft snake isn't far out of exaggeration?

I'm pretty sure this pic was proved to be a photoshop job.

Take a look at the size of the bucket on the excavator. It is a photo trick..
It is a Reticulated python, there are much bigger specimens around..
The snake would be no longer than 15-16 feet.

Anacondas actually rarely get over 16 feet, however they can pack on some pretty spectacular girth..
The biggest Retic in the world was 24 feet, any Retic over 20 feet is considered huge.
Snakes over 30 feet do not exist. If they did, someone would have claimed the $50,000 the NYZS was offering (they recently took it down because no-one had even attempted to claim it after 54 years..)
