Yep, saw that in the local newspaper the other day.

900 pounds is one big ----ing snake... and they feed it 3-4 dogs a month.

Every few years, there are cases where adults are swallowed by huge pythons.

What believe that? i have seen it on the news and also alot of pics in the newspaper. Happen like 2 times already, maybe back in 1995.

Wouldn't that suck if you walked out in your back yard and one of those was just sitting there coiled up :eek:.

[darkcurves]

Yeah, that would suck. Luckily till today, i have never seen any real snakes before, only a few times at the zoo.

Imagine being the real estate agent trying to sell that house to a potential buyer.

You'd have to be pretty stupid to get eaten by one, they move pretty slow. I'd bet the only humans to be eaten were either caught while asleep, or decided to play with the snake, or got scare frozen by the site of it.. Kids are told to stop moving and be real still if they see a snake...that only gets you eaten by one of these guys, LOL. They bite, hold on, and then wrap around you. If one grabbed me, it would have a knife in it's brain real fast..

[cowax]

I wonder how they caught that snake...

Sometimes, this huge snakes might also look like wood on the ground. so when you go near, they will kinda like hold you, then squash ur bones. btw, this snakes are not poisonous.

It doesn't really matter if a snake is poisonous if it's eating you, now does it? ;)

[darkcurves]

But is it poisonous, u die almost instantly.

[Kaliber]

I am sure you would have a knife handy at all times Webdude.

[iFliPcEss]

Even if it didn't bite you, once it wraps around you, you're dead.

Something wrong with having a knife handy at all times?

[Webdude]

Yes, as a matter of fact I do have a knife at all times. But I use it for opening beer bottles and trim my fingernails, and shave. I would just use my gun on the snake.

But think about where these snakes are. What kind of idiot goes into the forest without some sort of weapon against the cute cuddly little forest creatures???

Hmm, looks like you guys have no idea how rural areas in South East Asian countries look like.

[notnamed]

I was going to mention that, but something shiney caught my eye and I forgot.
