[BWSmith]

At 16 feet, are you sure it wasn't a Burm?

[snake_goth]

no ime shure it was a boa i red it in the news paper thay where talking to the owner

[HetForHuman]

hmmm a 16 foot boa????

maybe an anaconda

[fateamber]

Is that in south yorkshire cos somthing like that was on calender!

[Big Mike]

Don't belive everything you read in the paper ;)

[RachelS.]

yeah I agree.... they saw a 30 foot boa one time. lmao Im so sure...

[snake_goth]

it might of been a python its just in 1 paper it red boa the other python no its in shefield

[Lisa]

could be anything, probably not even 15 feet... i remember the star posted an artical about a ball python being able to to make 15 feet. lmao

as for how the snake escaped, usually it is by human error in cases like this (leaving cages open, not making it secure, falling asleep while handling, not paying attention... etc

[snake_goth]

yeah but imangine waking up looking out the window and seeing that.......... aaaaahhhh heaven..
but on a bit sader note the reptile house near me lost there albino burm (it died) a few weeks ago i onle just found out.:(

[fateamber]

The one on the tv was in sheffield i think, but it showed the viv it was living in with another boa, th viv would of only been 3 and a half feet at most!

[snake_goth]

thay foud the snake i heard it on the radio last night it was a 13ft python (the guy who was reading the news didnt say if it was a burm or retic)

[fateamber]

I think it was the same one.

[snake_goth]

y?

[fateamber]

Cos they found the one that got out on the tv 2!

[snake_goth]

o weel it must be that one ps how the heel do u think it got out????

[Jungle Jen]

There was a recent news broadcast telling of a 14 foot python found in the basement of a downtown hotel. I adopted the snake, and she is an 8+ foot columbian boa. I guess that didn't sound as exciting as the other story. ;)

(Neither the news nor the animal control officers had any knowledge on snakes.)

[snake_goth]

well i found a peace in a paper it sed it was a 11ft python (looks like a retic) named tracy

[fateamber]

Same one!

[snake_goth]

lol realy have u seen a pic of it it looks gr8

[fateamber]

I think i saw a pic of it. It was living with a boa!

[Mike177]

ya when you read the news you have to be carefull as to what to beleve at least snake wise. the public is very uneducated on snakes and alot of people still think that a boa constrictor boa constrictor constrictor is the largest snake when accualy it come up to about 6th in the count in the largest snake i think the biggest boa ever recorded was somewhere in the ball park of 16-18 feet but sizes like that in captivity are very rare.

It was on tv, it was a big snake.

[snake_goth]

i didnt see the tv thing what did it say how did it get out

[fateamber]

It showed pics of both snakes, pics of their viv. There was the owner saying how it could be eating dogs and cats and how to watch your kids cos if they touched a rabbit the snake could mistake them for the rabbit and strike at them, and that the snake was prbably hiding under a hedge somewhere. There was a pick of a crack in the viv but i don't think it escaped through that crack, the viv was in their garage.

[snake_goth]
