Yes, but how can you base the size of the snake on it?

I dont think it was totally based on the pic. If you read the pilots account of it, he says that he hovered down to take a closer look, but the snake raised itself about 10 feet in the air, maybe looking to attack the 'copter.

Anyways, there is a 49ft snake in captivity - in Java, Indonesia. Apparently it eats 3/4 dogs a month. It weighs about 1000 pounds.

Sorry guys but i had to post this :



Priceless!!

This snake sure is not shy

49-FOOT DOG-EATING SNAKE MAY BE THE WORLD'S BIGGEST

JAKARTA, Indonesia - Indonesian villagers claim to have captured a python that is almost 49 feet long and weighs nearly 990 pounds, a local official said. If confirmed, it would be the largest snake ever kept in captivity. Hundreds of people have flocked to see the snake at a primitive zoo in Curugsewu village on the country's main island of Java.

Local government official Rachmat said the reticulated python measured 48 feet 8 inches and weighed in at 983 pounds. The Guinness Book of World Records lists the longest ever captured snake to be 32 feet. The heaviest -- a Burmese Python kept in Gurnee, Ill. -- weighs 402 pounds, the book said on its Web site. The Indonesian newspaper Republika said the snake, which was caught last year but only recently put on public display, eats three or four dogs a month.

How do you knw?

I am asking because I read the same story with the same photo on many other websites a while ago and they all stated that the snake was well over 40 feet.

That particular snake is only 21 feet.. YES, That is true and is not 49 feet.. The apparently sent folks from National Geographics over there to confirm the claim and it wasn't even close to what they said it was and the guy that claimed it was 49 feet looked like a complete goofball after it was debunked.. I mean come on fokks.. Just look at that photo above and you can tell that snake is not 49 feet long... Understand that a 49 or 50 foot snake is going to be and look much like the pic I posted in the opening of this thread... It would be the size girth wise as a large oil drum, not what you see above.. In any event, I will provide the link of that later tonight after I'm through celebrating Christmas with my folks.. :wink:

A Belgian chopper pilot called Remy Van Lierde took the photo (pictured left) during a patrol over the Republic of Congo in 1959. The snake he witnessed has been estimated to be anywhere from around 40-50 feet long. It was possible to estimate the size of the snake because of the many features on the ground in the images taken.
It was described by the pilot as a dark shade of brown and green with a white coloured belly. The jaws were of triangular shape. The pilot claimed the head was a massive 3 feet wide adding that as he cautiously moved in lower for a closer inspection the snake raised itself in the air as high as maybe 10 feet, looking like it may attack the helicopter.

That part makes One Ahmed Johnson wee his panties in mirth

Thanks Ahmed.

I am still not sure if I shall keep thos or change to this one:

The hero of the film is being strangled by the bad guy's guts!

Ahmed, would you like me to pm youa pic of the snake which ate a boy? Very disturbing

Here is the link debunking this 49 foot snake which turned out to be either 21 foot or 28 foot.. Either way you want to look at it, that's a considerable difference in size to what they claimed was 49 feet and what's 21 or 28 foot..

yes, followed by the legs of the boy hanging out of the snakes stomach

:shock: I just showed my brother this and he shit after seeing this.. Like me, he said imagine running into something this size on foot?? It's definitely genuine and a very rare sight to see..

if on foot, i have feeling you wouldn't even see it . . . . . .

Ahmed has seen these photos :?

130 feet? That'd be a freaking dinosaur.
