    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

The main takeaway is not just that this snake is huge, but that it appears to be a fully grown adult, which implies the Indian subcontinent could have supported a unique lineage of giant snakes during the Eocene. That raises questions about what the environment was like there 47 million years ago to support such a sizeable predator and how it fit into the broader picture of snake evolution worldwide.
