    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....

How many documented cases are out there of big snakes swallowing people.?

I saw the thread on the 10ft snake "swallowing" a woman up to her waist and i am wondering if there are any actual documented cases available..?
The best i have seen was based on a big blown up picture that was on the office wall of Tom Crutchfield when i use to visit and buy from his facility... It was a pic from WWII of a large snake with a 10-13? year old child swallowed completely. you could clearly see the head, shoulders etc,,, a pretty cool pic. don't know how authentic it really was,,, but made for a good conversation anyway,,,
 
Here is one for your enjoyment. Almost sounds as if the kids actually witnessed the real thing, but who knows. I wonder if there is any follow up to this?African Rock Python Swallows Boy??????
 
Make sure to page all the way down on the link about the Green Anaconda attacks as it has still footage of the one that followed the assistant before attempting to attack.
 
Hey Glenn,,,
Thanks for the couple of links,,, the one about the anacondas is pretty intresting,,, and compelling... so i pose the question,,,
if a large (13ft or above in size,, ) snake does get "hungry" enough do they possibly see us as prey..?
now before i start a uproar about large snakes feeding on "scents" and prey recognition.. etc,, and how there are tons of very docile large snakes in captivity,,, etc,,, i just wonder if "hunger" will ever overcome the prey recognition,, and scent stimuli to force a large snake to "feed one something out of its regular scope of "prey items"?
It does happen with alligators,,, ( ie all the documented cases of dog attacks in the past in fla) and with other reptiles,,, (ie lizard feeders such as grey bands taking mice etc..) just something to ponder...?!

I wish i had the picture that was hanging on the wall in Tom Critchfields office,, it was quite compelling and a really good picture with a lot of detail....
