Yep, I seen this snake,
it was all over the news a week ago in Holland.
they said it was 15 meters long and 450 kilos
and I've seen the very scared dog in the enclosure/shak
waiting to be lunch, wierd.

cheers,

The snake in question is only 21 feet.
Measured by a reporter i believe. When those in charge of it were asked about the discrepancy the response was "We don't know he shrunk so much".
This story can go into the myth book with Loc Ness Monster and bigfoot..

Then measured by an importer that was interested in collecting that $25 million reward for any snake proven to exceed 30 ft, upon which time he measured it and verified it to be 21 Feet long. The video footage has 2 little indonesians carrying it themselves (990lbs hmmmm?) If you look at enough pics of it youll see its nowhere near that size.

In the pictures, it clearly looks less than 49ft, but I am a skeptic. I have heard 37ft, 21ft, 32ft, etc... It is still a big snake, but not THE big one that seems to dwell in everyones imagination.... Interesting none the less.

Look at the pictures, its obvious, as a matter of fact in reptile mag look at the retic (last year I believe) that one held his species record (for a live snake not a dried out skin). That retic is noticeably bigger, yet hes only 26ft. Take this back to the retic forum.
