Dinodon, photobucket.com is very user-friendly! It will automatically resize the pics to fit these forums nicely, and it's free!
Since Don graced your namesake with rufozonatum, I'll give you some semicarinatum



On Okinawa, I found one Akamata that would make that four-footer wrapped around my hand look like a baby. I'm 6'1", and I had the snake by the tail, with arm held high, and despite some kinks for rigidity, its head was barely above the ground. It was at least 7', and without doubt the longest snake I have ever found! The most regrettable part is that I had both a camera and a camcorder, and due to traffic, I got rid of the snake in a hurry. Truth be told, the traffic was only a mild concern; they're fantastically efficient biters, with attitude, decent jaws and a pair of big teeth, and I really didn't know what to do with it

Share those Taiwan herp pics!
