Wow. I wouldn't want to run into that thing on a trip through the jungles and swamps of SE Asia.

I'm pretty sure that's the one they later confirmed to be greatly exaggerated

holy crap! that snakes as big as the ones in the anaconda movies!
they say thats the biggest ever in captivity! i wonder whats been reported in the wild?
i definitely wouldn't go anywhere near that thing. anyone watch the video? they're picking it up and stretching out

Hi, yes I also think it is greatly exaggerated !

 

[MyFishEatYourFish]

yeah, after finishing the movie i don't think that thing is as big as they claim. the pic makes it loo that big though cause of the angle. i doubt there's any snake alive thats 50 feet.

I saw it on TV, they measured it... they could have crinkled up the measuring tape when they did it, but it came out at 48.5 feet... I was personally amazed it wasn't killed as soon as they saw it.

Exaggerated or not, that's one huge serpent! I would'nt tangle with it.
