A national TV crew has arrived at the site
The hunters have returned and say they know where it is
Apart from that no news
Rescue team is still on site and they would not wait this long unless they were pretty sure

awesome!

There seems to be a few doubters, I have faith simply because I want it to be true. Even if it's closer to 10m, that's still a very big snake.

funny how these giant snakes always seem to shrink when a tape measure is bought in!

Exactly!

What will they do if they catch it?

 

[silatman]

Wow that would be insane to be anywhere near a wild snake that size.
I'm still weary or my little SWCP
What is the largest recorded snake anyway?
I'm sure someone on here knows so I can be lazy and not google it myself LOL

 

[longqi]

The area is being clear felled
So it cannot stay there
It will become called a National treasure and will end up on display somewhere

That is when they capture it
and if it didnt shrink toooooo much

10 metres in Sulawesi Indonesia in about 1938

that videos measurements don't look accurate, that snake only looks as long as the 4 men holding it? not 50ft.
there would be some natural monsters left deep in the jungle, its just a matter of finding them and not killing them.

 

[longqi]

The one in the video is just on 7metres
But very fat

 

[AUSHERP]

yeah thats what i thought but the narrator actually said its just under 50 ft?

 

[longqi]

The first reports were totally wrong
That Retic is still kept on display in a village in central Java

 

[Smithers]

Any word???

 

[longqi]

Just that two large female retics were found
Smallest was just over 7metres
largest around 8.5 [which puts it way up there in the monster retic class]
Indonesian government has claimed both as national treasures
Nothing else including exact lengths weights etc released yet
