Sundew Posted April 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Snakes this large have been known to get into Orangutan enclosures and take young Orangs. This could easily kill a child. Probably best if put into a zoo for display. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atuke Posted April 11, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hopefully they didn't kill it. A snake that size alive is worth millions and could feed their entire village forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHaYap Posted April 12, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 12, 2016 'Longest-ever' captured python dies in Malaysia 11 April 2016 A giant python found on a Malaysian building site, that may be the longest ever caught, has died, officials say. The estimated eight-metre-long (26ft) snake was spotted Thursday under a fallen tree on the island of Penang. It died on Sunday after laying eggs, Herme Herisyam, operations chief for Penang's Civil Defence Department's southwest district told the BBC. ` bbc link ~ freakishly hot weather and the stress probably did her in ... ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating it invariably kills it. Unless you mean have it sold into captivity and they use the money to buy food.

I don't believe the 32' length but it's still a giant and worth a ****-ton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHaYap Posted April 20, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I hope they didnt kill it something this big is very old, Yeah, some of the conversations I've had with people knowledgeable about snakes is quite convinced that old age is part of the reason it came to be out in the open ~ I hope her eggs were fertilized Most improbable according to the 'experts' ... a mate of compatible size would be most rare ~ ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
