They some giants out there and bigger than one in film ,got to remember they dislocate the jaw when eating ,they the heaviest snake on record but not the biggest as I believe that's the African scrub ,people say they give birth to live young but they actually retain the eggs and young hatch as she lays them just like garter snakes as they live in water and eggs wouldn't survive so she retain them . They a few recorded incidents in Africa when rock pythons have eaten people but guarantee they many been eaten over the years , I was out at a zoo my mate works at and they still got my old female mangrove and they got a breeding group of gila now so I was chuffed to see them , They got a group of dingo as well ,very cool to see . 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now back to these anacondas that come out of eggs They do come out of eggs ,all snakes produce eggs but some like boa ,anaconda ,garter ,water snakes in general retain the eggs and they hatch as she gives birth , the eggs wouldn't survive if she layer them in to moist ,wet conditions so they retain them but the shell isn't hard it's soft so yes they do hatch out of eggs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was at a bird auction the other night and there was an iguana in a tank, only went for a tenner. It was in Wigan so that poor bugger probably got eaten as well .........straight under a crust. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
