thanks for the flashback meynies,what a great pic, but i think the old trick of standing back from the subject to make it look bigger is in play there.

There may be a little of that Baz, but not alot, I have kept these in the UK and they do get large, a friend of mine had a couple that were close to 5' long and wide, I mean really wide.
You would need two hands to hold them at the back of the neck, and there fangs are the largest in the world, I mean forget the lymphatic system, these things go deep into the flesh and muscle and one that size would cause you serious problems.

I think I'll skip one of those as a pet

 

[caustichumor]

You would definately know it if that tagged you. Imagine walking through the bush and looking down to see that hanging off your leg! I would like to know what the staple diet of an epalid that big would be?

At least that Adder would not be mistaken as a Lizard
