    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....

New Worlds Largest Snake ??????

Got My Doubts

I've seen accurately-measured retics in the 20-23 ft. range which look pretty much the same size as this one, so I'd figure it's actual size to be more in that range. One pic I've seen(via Kingsnake.com)showed the snake with its head very close to a person(outside the cage)and its head didn't look any larger than that of a 20-ft. retic. I'd have expected one over twice that size to have a much bigger head. All of the photos of this snake have been taken so as to make the snake look much larger than it really is. Furthermore, I saw a pic today in our newspaper, and it showed a guy IN the cage with the snake, petting it, and the snake was paying him no mind at all. Now, I have a couple of retics, and I've had others and been around plenty more, so I know their temperament pretty well. This is supposed to be a WC snake, and I've yet to see a WC adult retic that you could just go in the cage with and pet like that; most are HIGHLY defensive inside their cages-either that or they think that anything that enters the cage is FOOD. Now, CB retics, or maybe one that was captured while very young and worked with a whole lot, can be a different story, but even they have intense feeding responses. My guess is that this snake is a CB specimen, NOT WC as claimed, and that it is between 20-25 ft. long-still a BIG snake, but nowhere near the almost 50 ft. claimed.

I belive it is as large as they say,but then again it says retics are known to eat humans, i never knew about that and Its crazy how differnt the US is, if someone feed there snake 3 or 4 dogs a month they would get locked up for it. over there i guess they eat them like we eat fried chicken.
 
They said the snake is not wild but been captive and praised by villagers as a leader so thats why it is so "friendly" and not attacking them. I think it is real sure looks big enough to me.
