7 metre scrubbie

[Darlyn]

So Bondi vet is advertising footage of a 7 metre Scrubbie, which they say is
a first. Thoughts?

I know of at least 1 if not 2 of them around that size. First one has been seen many times at Cleveland in the black swamp and just the other week a friend could not leave his property at capalaba as thee was one over his drive way. It's a 2 lane drive way and he could not see the head or the end of the tail. I'm on call if he sees it again so I'll post pics when I get them

I have worked in the black swamp for years and yes there are some lge morelia species in there but not over 3mt and im saying that from just looking at there size but i havernt measured them.
if you find a scrubbie in the redland bay area 7mt long i will give you 50 bucks pm me when you find it.

:lol: If you find a snake 7metres long at Redland Bay, i guess my dad will be moving!! He wont even come into my lounge room with my 1metre or so long bredli baby!!

I cant wait to tell him!!

I saw the add, they described it as 7m plus, which sounds more like a guestimate to me. What's the bet they don't run a tape measure over it.

Their was a photo of a Scrubbie at that Kuranda parrot place years ago, of one bigger than 7m....anyone recall the photo!

 

[JUNGLE-JAK]

A mate found a 6m one in his chook coop, im dying to see it.

I think you guys should read a paper in herpetofauna by joe sambono jnr and simon fearn on scrubbies. Maximum recorded size vs the " 8.5 metre" are very different

Cheers

Nether Cleveland nor Capalaba are within 1000 kilometres of the natural range of Morelia amethistina! While it is possible that there maybe an "escapee" in the area more likely it is a coastal plus exaggeration. Please post the pics to prove me wrong.

Rick Shine has an answer

These giant pythons always shrink whenever a tape measure turns up. From ( John Aglionby tries to measure a 14-metre python )

from what i saw yeah it was a scrubbie but it was in a roofspace and tightly coiled to the beams at that....i've spoken with Dr.chris brown about my cat....he should stick to domestic animals....leave the reptiles to the specialist vet.

I have a photo of a large python in a house at Redland bay. (an uneducated guess tells me its a Bredli) Im not really sure how big it acctually is as i wasn't there.

 

[imported_Varanus]

They must have seen it while under water, everything's bigger under water!

 

[user 16446]

The reason there's no photos or vids of a 7m scrubbie, is because no photographer has lived to return with them. The size of their head alone proves too big a temptation for a hungry 7m scrubby.

I did see somewhere the famous Bondi vet handle a diamond python. I was amazed at his inability. To see him with a 7m scrubby might just make my day
