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!!"

  1. Forget verification... how to catch it? by ignoringReality · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...it's probably so big from eating all the people that tried to catch it before... Some guy had to catch the thing... now assuming that it was only '20, possibly 30 feet' that's still a big freaking snake! You can't sing it to sleep; even if you do manage to sedate it with something imagine the _simple_ task of getting it into the back of a truck!

  2. The feed it pets? by nurb432 · · Score: 1, Interesting
