My Retic is getting big

[Loren]

James, That 49 ft retic was a hoax. When biologists or national geographic(or who ever it was that checked it out) got out there, the snake measured just 23 feet or so. The locals who had it said " we do not know why the snake has shrunk".
The longest authenticated I've heard of was right about 33 feet.
I dont believe many of the old records on snake length- especially with anacondas. Everyone says they get over 30 feet, yet I dont know if I have ever seen an actual believable account of one over 20. Many old records were taken by measuring skins- very inaccurate.

Apparently, there have been claims of anacondas over 100 feet long and some cryptozoologists claim that there's a giant species of anaconda out there that can grow to something like 60 ft.

Not saying its impossible, but I will have to see legitimate proof to believe it myself.

Not saying its impossible,

Extremely unlikely, then.

I don't know... I once saw a documentary in which a guy who looked just like John Voight got swallowed by an Anaconda!

[Stefan-A]

Was that the same documentary where an anaconda regurgitated a guy that looked like Jon Voight?

That's the one! Now, THAT was a big snake!

[Stefan-A]

And boy was it fast on land.

[adamanteus]

And it could fly (almost).

[Stefan-A]

Almost, not quite.

I take it you haven't seent he documentary on the 30ft "half African King Cobra and half eastern Diamond rattlesnake"? Hosted by Mr. Miyagi.
