That is huge! 49 feet and 900 pounds! It is also alive, they say it eats 4 large dogs.

i can't believe folks are falling for this hook-line-and sinker!
it is being reported as fact by newspaper and online news like msnbc...
sure, it is a big snake, but not even half of what they claim. i don't think it is even as big as "Baby" or one of Bob Clark's big animals.
if you look at the photos, it is a 20 ft plus animal. big, but no record by any means. in one of the pics, there is a man standing next to the "50 ft" monster, wow, he must be 15 ft. tall : )
it is sensationalistic, that is all. it would be lucky to top 300 pounds, much less the claimed 900 : )

want there to be a 50 foot snake. I know that it would be pretty awesome to have it be proven....no real reason....just cool.
BTW, Why isn't Chad a top rounder in the pro bowl? He kicked some @ss this year!!!!!!

You never experience life until you have kids..then you realize what you should have done rather then what you did do

ACTUAL SIZE. LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT COULD BE A NEW RECORD, BUT NOT 1000 LBS. IT TAKES ALOT OF SNAKE TO MAKE 300 LBS. CAN YOU IMAGINE A ONE THOUSAND POUND FIFTY FOOT PYTHON?
