Interesting find!

the 500cm reptile, now named the Kapuas mud snake

I find it hard to believe that it's 5 metres long though :!: :shock:

I'd like to see the size of the bucket they put it in. Because a 5 metre snake would not go in any bucket I know!

Yeah its 50cm "It is about 50cm (18 inches) long, and venomous"

Ohh well maybe if they keep looking they will find another snake that is 5m +. Heres hoping
