I've heard of this prehistoric snake being discovered, but the incredible proportions of this thing is freakin incredible!!

I bet the live offspring are born as large (or larger) than a 9 or 10 boa weighing 50-60 pounds easy...WOW!!

Doug,
There is an article about titanoboa in the most recent issue of Smithsonian magazine. I have yet to read the article yet but it looks very interesting.

I'm pretty sure its poop would weigh more than I do. And I'm not a small dude. Even I'd be scared of finding one of those O.o
