Lilly Posted March 18, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I wouldn't get all those vaccines just to look at big snakes. Heck, I could do that by simply attending a political rally here at home. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dharma warrior Posted March 19, 2016 #13 Share Posted March 19, 2016 You'll quite often hear anaconda's referred to as the world's heaviest snake, but very rarely as the heaviest. Keep in mind that a 17 ft anaconda would weigh roughly the same as a 27 ft python. It's the girth dude, the girth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark-DK Posted March 19, 2016 #14 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Agree that the anaconda is the worlds heaviest snake, not the longest. Pythons are the longest, but they are quite slim...just like the relationship between japanese and americans....

HandsomeGorilla Posted March 19, 2016 #15 Share Posted March 19, 2016 There are no confirmed cases of snakes over 25 or so feet. After doing more research, you're exactly right and I stand corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zalmoxis Posted March 20, 2016 #17 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Kick ass. That anaconda could eat a small rhinocerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimisticSkeptic Posted March 25, 2016 #18 Share Posted March 25, 2016 There could have been a trophy from that encounter without harming the snake at all. Notice how gray her eyes are when we first see her head, and then how drab and uniformly colored her body is. I would say she was just a couple of hours or less from shedding her skin!

And having been shopping with a woman for a new posh frock.... I'd rather be in the company of the snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
