wasn't this one discovered to be fake? The story that is, something like they wont let anyone go in to get a true measurement ot something

 

[dames1978]

doesnt look to fake in the vid.

I have a news paper clipping that says it is 14.85 meters long and weighed 447 kilos.

 

[NinaPeas]

I can never get those darn videos to work

I didn't mean a fake snake, I meant a fake measurement. They wont let any "officials" in to measure it, everyone just has to go by what the keepers say

These giant pythons always shrink whenever a tape measure turns up.

[nervous]

it has been measured it ended up being 22-23 foot
some american dude measured it
so they say on kingsnake.com

That snake isn't even close to 49 feet long, it probably doesn't get close to 30 feet.

 

[Morelia_Hunter]

It was a lie. They measured it and it was found wanting!!!!

 

[Retic]

A 49 foot snake would be immense, that is a big snake but you wouldn't even have to measure it to see it is about half that length.

Bugger, I would have put in a bid for him, but my biggest enclosure is only a 48 footer. Can't be cramping him can we?
