7 metre scrubbie

[FAY]

Well, Garth was friends with the late Louie Robichaux....he caught the biggest scrubbie ever....Eric Worrel discusses it in his book but says it was 28 foot. Louie always made a point in telling Garth that is was 25' 10".

I am yet to see photographic proof, as i said reply with photos or remain silent lol

Looks closer to 4.1 meters to me still no proof and a few meters short of the 7 meter magic scruby , i love these big snake threads i started one back in 2009 that went for 30 odd pages of hear say with no proof of anything over 4.5 meters (diamond coastal intergrade)

well mate get off your high horse and go and see the snake for yourself, it's on public display at CWS.

what are you basing your 4.1m opinion on? the fact that it 'looks' closer to 4.1?

simple fact was the snake was measured by the accepted procedure of running a string line down the animals spine from tail tip to nose. Your simple visual observation has nil credit, end of story

At the end of the day how does a photo count as proof? Unless the snake is dead and has been stretched out with a tape measure next to it you will not get an accurate length from a photograph.

Wowsers Fay, a telegraph pole is 28 ft that is one massive animal

Dead snakes can stretch, so even that may not be accurate.

It's a shame really, even if it's big enough, snakes don't eat piles of ****, so Chris Brown will still be here tomorrow.

[junglepython2]

Was that the one at the herpshop stand at vhs expo?

 

[Reptile_lover83]

Yeah this was in the papers last year. Some boating shed in North Qld. They'd found several skins and many male pythons but knew there had to be a female as they were breeding. Then Dr Chris Brown went up there to get it out!

I dont know if he is the biggest but he is big. Needless to say my 4 metre girl was dwarfed by him when I sent her up to mate with him. The owner doesn't do internet.

 

[cobra6t9r]

Yes Pete that was him his name was Ar#$%$
