Well, i supose you are right about the hybrid thing, it's just that i don't put it down neither do i promote it. I believe you said even you keep hybrids, right? Anyway, going forward:
To me, rock pythons are the most amazing of the big boids, but i don't understand why they get so little atention. It seems like rocks live under the shadow of the other giant snakes. There could be so much to talk about them. In fact, a great number of interesting facts and records are given to some species in tv shows, books and documents making them more memorable, distinct and interesting, but once again rock pythons should be taking the credit. Here are a couple: It's often said that retics are the most widely distributed of the big pythons. Now, i don't know if they mean total area or most number of countries or whatever, but these people surely never looked at a map. Python Sebae exists troughout most of Africa and that's more than twice the territory that goes from India to the far point of Timor.
Also it's accepted that Eunectes Murinus is the heaviest snake. How do they figure that out? Biggest murinus on record was 27'4'' , biggest Sebae on record 32'1''. Although there are no indication of weight on these 2 beasts, you are all welcome to do your math...
As i said, i could talk about rocks all day.
Keep the rock talk alive, BrianSmith.
