If they was in florida they'd be a big problem as the fear nothing unlike a snake that fears most stuff and only strikes out of fear or hunger ,they got nile monitors but they nothing like these dustbins that do hunt and feed in groups , 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is what I can never get my head around, Mooch. Back in the day, I was at a 'show', public were admitted too. They had these hatchling Green Anaconda's. Beautiful, vivid green. Gorgeous markings. Next to nothing in price. I'd seen much bigger slow worms too. It was a lip chewing moment. The girl said they " Come out of the egg, biting. " Which didn't enamour me. But, it was actually that she said they fast grow out of that lovely, vibrant green that made me sigh and move along. Nothing to do with the fact that I could easily be taking home a thing, in a little plastic pot ~ No Questions Asked! ~ which, in a relatively short time, could well end up eating my fukking Dog, before coming after Me!!! Then, god help the next door neighbours! And yet, if I wanted some small, furry thing that might deliver a nasty little bite or scratch, if grabbed at? Chances are, I'd have the weight of the entire city against me. It's not f***ing right, is it? Fukking idiots charter, basically. 'Go forth and fukk up, big time. We'll follow the mess.' 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for eating a fully grown human even the biggest examples of reticulated pythons and green anacondas would struggle to get past the shoulders, AFAIK there's never been a confirmed report of a fully grown adult human being eaten by a snake. They'll kill you in minutes though and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it if you're on your own and a 15+ft snake starts throwing coils round you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of humans have been taken by large scrub python in Africa and one person was eaten in the states when he had a fit with a large reticulated python "pet " free roaming his home and it did eat him ,make no mistakes these snakes can and will bite ,wrap ,crush you to death then go on to eat you .I've been around and handled these snakes qnd no way would I try handling one on me own and definitely wouldn't feed one with out at least one very ,knowledgeable person with me . Some grow a lot larger than those on record and something taking a full size deer can easily eat you as long as your not mc HULL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
