Its a monster of a python weighing close to 450 kilos and ~15m long. Beat that anaconda. Seems it has developed a nice taste for dogs too!!"

    If I remember correctly, it's a very bad idea to attempt to sedate a reptile. Determining proper dosage is near impossible for our sensitive cold blooded friends and the attempt would most likely result in the untimely death of the snake.
