The picture look's real to me but now a day's there easy fake but i have seen this one before and i believe its real. but i cant tell how long it is..

Well, I figure there are 5 men on the side of the truck. So the lenght of the truck bed is about 9 feet. Snake clearly is 3 times the length of the truck bed.
So, about 27 feet at least?

27 feet is comprehendable...Nice snake

27 feet at least, that is my conservative estimate.
The thing is the Brazilian had it reported at 11.2 meters. That is about 33 feet!
I agree it is uhheard of. But that is their snake and that is what they say?

11.2 meteris is over 36.7 feet

That's cause everything is bigger in South America

I was reading the article and its scary that it says that the sacuri doesn't have poison, but it just wraps around its victims

No, the longest snakes live in Indonesia


Ever hear the words 'constrictor'?

Yeah and? i didn't know that a snake from the anaconda family didn't have poison.

You obviously didn't get my joke about everything is bigger in South America. aah.

nah everything is bigger in italy. 100% italian what what my dad is off theboat moved here from rome baby

Congrats on your debate Frogfish

Right, bigger than I thought. But can sombody verify the report!!!!
36.7 feet if true has got to be a phenomenon in the world of snake enthusiast.
I mean, we have a pic and witness, how true is it????

Post # 336 I think is a false report.
The snake in the picture is not an Anaconda but a Reticulated Python base on the skin pattern.

Post #340 is an Anaconda alright. 27 feet at least, but how long really?

The snake is definitely over 20..but I doubt its over 30.

id say 22-24 at best

Damn, this snake-thing is MASSIVE!!!

Either it's one huuuuuuuuuuugggggggeeeeeeeeee andaconda or python, or it's a new species.

Its not a new species

14u2cee has suggested Sucuriju gigante: Big Snake or Big Myth ? as a debate topic. If any are interested in such a debate I would be more than willing to set it up.

And it's not a real snake.

You mean the snake on the truck?
I think it is real, hard to imagine anyone doing all those effort to make a fake claim, I mean there are many people involve and why do such effort for a prank and hope none of the people in the picture would double cross you?????

The photo of the snake on the truck is almost older than me! Its not a hoax, they do not need this. Inside that snake was a person, a small guy eaten by it. Ask the familly if its was a false snake.

I will do more research and post here. Regarding the first iamge of the thread, I have no ideal what it is.

Everything I am talking about in here is about the images and sucuris I provided.

Im posting its scientific name for you guys do a search.

Popular name: Sucuri (There is a lot more)

Scientific name: Eunectes murinus

They can reach 10 to 12 meters long.

More info and images latter.

Please, so a search by scientific name.

haha hey u do know thats not one snake but 2? both people are holding a head lol

haha and no its not 32+ feet lol each snake it probl 10 feet long in that pic if that

Did I say the size of that snake above or if there were one or 2?
Humm. i don´t really think so.

LOL? Don´t you have something more adult to write?

Never mind.

Here´s is the site http://pages.prodigy.net/anaconda/ containing info on snakes, including Anacondas (sukuris, sucurijus, etc.)

I called a friend of mine just now too and hes a bio botanic (dont know if in english its like this) and he said that oficially the biggest sucuri found was 8.5 meters long.

I will continue my research!

Follow the link bellow to findo a lot of info regarding Sucuris (Anaonda) in english!

Information regarding Anacondas/sucuris in english

If you analyze the picture. There are 5 average men on the side of the truck. You can measure it yourself, each of them are approximmately occupying 2 -2.5 feet of space on the side of the truck. Being a wizard in math like you, that is about 10 feet rigth? The truck bed lenght is about 10 feet. That snake is close to 3 times the lenght of the truck bed.
Unless of course if you think that is a minn truck surrounded by Hobbits!

its definatly ot a 10 foot bed. its probly 8 foot one. im looking at it and then looking at the truck in my drive way that has an 8 foot bed and comparing the two the legenth in comparasion with the people around it is pretty much the same. now take that snake legenth and say it would fold up 3 tihmes in the bed that means the snake is aobut anybody hmm? 8x3=24 and i odnt even thisk its a full 3 times the legenth of the truck bed. and remember people if this snake was 11.2 meter snake it would be recorded ocnsidering is in a truck bed and the herp community owuld knwo aobut it. and im very much intertwinined in the herp community. this snake is a female who ate probly 3-4 days earlier.

I think you jump throug replies and don´t read, really.

It ate, of course. It has a man inside its belly! Please, take your time and read some early posts and read the links I provided.

And again, I called a friend, expert in bio botanic and he said the largest Anakond found in Brazil were 8,5 - 9 meters long.

But some claim that that snake in the truck is 11.2 meters long.

Try googling this:

Sucuri+Tamanho+assassina

Above means: Sucuri+size+killer

Clearly there are 5 men on the side of the truck bed. If you measure shoulder from end to end it is about 2 feet. 5 men X 2 feet is 10 feet.

That anaconda looks about 26 ft long...i first saw that photo years ago, it was in the Sunday Sport

11.2 m = 36.73ft long! that Anaconda isn't stocky enough for 36ft long...it's miles too slim....it's about 10 to 12 ft shorter

you'd know if it was 36ft long....it would be BLOODY HUGE

so far the max size is about 30ft.... anything larger would be very hard to find, if it even exists and also; it would be correctly recorded in the Guiness book of records and nature journals etc.

my guess is something huge is out there, but it's a relative of the anaconda

You can't tell from the picture...It doubt its over 25...a snake in the wild like that is rare...

I agree it is under 30 feet, my guess is at least 27. Quite long really for an Anaconda.
What did they do with the snake? Anyone knows?

Probably killed it...

Well, if it ate someone need to recover the body. It was probably made into a belt and wallet. Guess we will never know now the actual size .

i dont car that ur friend is a expert in bio botanic me as a zoologist who studies herps more thneu could imagin. am telling u people that that snake is not over 24 feet long. i dont even see 5 men on the side of the truck i do however see 5 boys on the side of a truck 5 boys could fit on the side of a 8 foot bed. ur logic is fulkl of holes nad u only see what u wnat to see

And who do you think care and believe you as a Zoologist?
Well, what are boys for you is not for many, I think you are spending too much time with animals.

Are you blind? My friend just said that there is no bloody 11.2 meters long snake.
And he said that 9 meters is the biggest found and his not saying its that one.


Btw, I would never trust a zoologist that behaves like you and sy lol to things like a 14 years old boy playing a MMORPG. And sy things like: OMG, PWNED LOL etc...

The snake in the truck must be about 7 meters long at least, it has a man of about 1,70 meters in its belly. It happened in my country,I know what I am talking about, I presented you links in english because I doubt you ever tried to learn another language ant the link says the snake can reach up too 9 meters. 9 metters to 11 is only 2 meters, why not then?

I have to agree that Robbieb is a bit harsh when he state's his opinion's, the point is its a big snake regardless of the factual aspects of the size that is almost impossible to tell because we have no first hand witness's, just picture's and we all know how they can be manipulated.

If any UM member's would like to donate to the FIND A BIG SNAKE IN THE WOODS project please contact any UM mod and im sure they will let you know who to make the check out too...........(LOL) Just a joke(LOL)

PS: Honestly any snake over 6' is a big snake to me, and once more for people to call me insane, i still believe there is one out there close to 40', not 40' but pretty close.

Yeas, there is so many anomalies in the wild, why not a big snake. I particulary never saw one personaly. Only in pictures, and pictures can be manipulated for sure.

I agree, i've said before that science doesn't agree with me, but sometimes i don't agree with science.

Because it's physically impossible.

What is physically impossible? 30 feet ? 32? 35? 40? 50?

30 foot 32 foot and even a 35 foot is not impossible but afte that the snake owuld be crushed by its own weight. it would need to revamp its own skeleton or else its ribs would crush

What about the fact that, snake is low on the ground and is long. Means the gravity pull is not like when it is standing up, and since it is elongated, the weight distribution is not concentrated at one point but instead distributed all thru out it's body?

im realy starting to dislike u because u dont listen to anything u just keep harpinyg read a post or two this was answered alot. a snake breaks ribs all the time because they are realitivly weak. now add extra weight ot them and u havem ore borken ribs after a certin point the weight becomes to strongthus ull hear a snap. the snake would need to develope strong flexable ribs to be able ot grow to this size. so unless it becoms a cartalaginous animals liek sharks its not going to happen. anacondas are just to heavy bodied. a reticulated python may be able to get to 40 fett today but thats about it.

double post

Yes, animals can't get human disease. So, they will have their own disease of extra growth.

Oh, I'm not here to be liked by everyone. I'm simply questioning, no need to answer if you can't hack it. OK, now you said something that I can relate to. That 40 footer retic is possible , but very unlikely. See, we have one thing we agree on somehow.

i find it intesting how at the beginning of this topic u wre tlaking aobut 100 foot snakes thne it was 60 thne 50 then now finsly 40 u dont wnat to jusr come out and say it but ur losing this battle. no one here has taken anything u said seriosuly. have u not noticed no one was in any way supporting u. this is because u dont knwo the topic all u do is make out of no where claims. do resarch lear about herps and then tlak in this topic again. i realy belive u know nouthig of reptiles other thne there cold blooded. there is no amazing reptile growth disease. there is nouthing in reptiles that is similar to gigantisism in people or has similar effects. ur just pulling crap out of your ass and its anoying. hers an idea before posting something liek that why not look up reptile diseases and thne see if one realy exhists next time. ur jsut being anoying and were all dumber for reading ur posts

Now it is you who is not reading the earlier post. My position has always been. We just don't know EXACATLY how big any species can grow. We can speculate and that is about it. Of course the bigger the claim the more impossible it is.

Your claim of knowing excatly how nature will work base on your calculation is what made you look dummer.
And actually your spelling skill.
