While on a research expedition in the Peruvian amazon jungle I came across a huge bushmaster. It was around 9pm at night and it was just relaxing on a trail. He would not move and just eyed me down, it was so big in fact, that when I first saw it I thought it had to be a constrictor of some kind. This snake was about 8-9 feet long and as thick as my lower thigh at its widest. Here are some pics, I have more on another computer and also a video if you guys are interested. Enjoy.
