New Giant Snake

[Silvertears]

Yeah but we don't know exactly how big it is. Be sweet if someone did find it.

I forget where, but people found a retic python just under 50'. They now keep it in a zoo there. I would like to own that snake. Also A. gig they have tried to find him but no one succeeded. Most of the pictures of it were fakes.

That snake was a Burmese python and it was later proven to be less than 20' if I can remember correctly.

I think the worlds largest snake is only around 28' and the largest in captivity is (well, as of recently, WAS) 24'. These 50' monsters that people are claiming exist are just for attention and media. There is no such extant snake.

There is no such extant snake.

actually, i don't think you can say that for sure. it may be highly unlikely, but to prove it doesn't exist, you'd have to do a sweep of the amazon in one gigantic line of people, with sonar checking the water...

I agree we have no idea what really is out there. There could be giant snakes hidden someplace where very few people go.

I cant prove that leprechauns exist but I still find it highly unlikely. I just dont think that there would be enough prey items of a large size that could sustain a snake of that size.

Is it possible, sure. Is it likely? Not at all.

this is what i'm saying.

I would find it more plausible if there were LARGE prey items as snakeguy said.

capybaras, caimans, jaguars...

capybaras, caimans, jaguars...

the number of those it would take to sustain or grow a 50' snake probably far exceeds what is available.

true. but it is still possible.
