If your afrock is your only snake, how do you have a ball python too?

Ok, first of all I have seen pigs that are larger then cows, how on earth can the snake outgrow pigs ? Maybe it could out grow piglets, but you could always get older larger pigs, if you cant get larger pigs you could try goats. Secondly, I always hate too do this but I would also think 23' is an inaccurate measurement. If you can show some pic’s that prove it, I will gladly apologize, heck I might even make an offer too purchase a specimen that big ,but until then I would have too say its BS.

"Ok, first of all I have seen pigs that are larger then cows" Are you serious a pig bigger then an adult cow or did ya mean calf? I live near a cow farm and there is no way a pig can get bigger then a full grow cow....
I also think this guy is pullin our legs how old is the afrock and is? it male or female? We all wanna see pics!
Actually yes i do got a bp but i dont really count it, as it isnt mine. I tried to post a pic but I wont work because it says its to big I compressed, I cropped and other crap. My african rock is about 16 yrs old. I was just thinking that maybe sheeps would be good? I had a couple of friends come up and help me get her out of the cage and measure her last year so she could be bigger in a year. She weights about 200 kilos.
You tell me what you think!

I know someone with a 20-25 foot retic and it barely weighs 200 POUNDS. 200 kilos is what like 300 pounds or something to that.
Im thinking bs...
Here (http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54649) you say you are a beginner snake keeper only 8 months experience. Now you're telling us you have a 16 year old African Rock Python that is exceptionally long, and probably world record weight for a python (200 kilos = 440 lbs...baby is recorded at 403 by Guinness). But you have no way of showing us pictures. If I'm wrong I'll apologize, but I'm not taking your post seriously if you cant offer any proof. Where did you get this snake from, and when?
rg
I have had this snake for a year not even near its life time. To tell you the truth I was guessing with weight and it probably is more near 200 lbs. Also im not a beginner Iv had reptiles for 6 yrs and I studied snakes for 2 yrs before I actually got one. actually the biggest snake ever found was earlier this year at 440 kilos or something like that and was 49 ft long. I actually got from a friend who had the snake and it got soooo big he couldnt keep anymore and he just wanted to get it away so I said I would take it. LostWithin, if you would like to purchase him id want around $1000-$1500 because he has costed so much to keep him and also because he's so big. Also u would have to pay shipping and **** and I would not want to bring it down to you

In fact, 200 kilos sounds right for 23 feet.
Afrocks can get bulky in captivity.
But it all sounds hard to believe, anyway.
Why don't you email that pic to one of us and let us try to post it? If you want try mine : live-action@sapo.pt

Ummmmmmmm that snake wasnt real. Just a heads up on that past researching.

I just realised that if the snake is 16 years old, she's older than you CHACHI. hehe.
Chachi, instead of trying 'attach file', upload it to your free gallery here on ssnakess.. Then post it using the 'img' code..

Hey Where are you located ??
I wanna c a pic. I'm not buying it. And in responce to an earlier post about pigs getting bigger than cows. Thats true there are pigs that are larger than cows.

If what you say is true...which I am skeptical. Do you realize what a zoo would pay for a snake that size? It is alot. Don't quote me on this...but someone once told me that the Bronx Zoo (here in NY) would be willing to pay like 25K for a snake @ 25 feet long.
lostwithin
10-04-04, 02:06 PM
I've heard that as well, but I would assume IF its true , they would wan it too be OVER 25' or its not worth anything too them , and at 16 its probably not going too grow much more.
Devon
ya the snake is older then me but its tame as hell and thats why my parents let me have it in this house. Besides my parents are always around when I feed this monster because it would be too dangerous for me to feed alone as I could be its next meal. I wouldnt want to sell it to a zoo anyways. I live in BC. heh, if its worth 25k im gonna sell it for 20k, lol
dean_h00
10-04-04, 02:39 PM
HAHAHA
now i definetely do not believe this... YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN 16 and you are saying you have this monsterous snake HAHA
Im sorry but there is no way in hell that i and im sure anyone else on this site believes you own such an extraodinary animal. I dont mean to ridicule but there is no need to tell everyone about animals you own in your dreams. but if everyone is cool with people posting about dream animals there should be a forum named 'animals i wish i had'.
Im sorry if this post was a little to harsh but honestly there is no need to be trying to mess with the intelligence of the people that inhabit these forums.
Oh btw I own 2 breeding pairs freshwater crocs, a 21 foot male saltwater crocodile and oh yea i forgot my 1.2 Varanus Komodonesis ;)
and all that even sounds more realistic then a kid having a snake that would mess hiim up 8 times over if it had the chance
Thats why my parents are around...... u think i sit around in the room and watch it eat? i throw it in a leave the room right away....... Ummm also how come i cant have such an extrodinary snake? U tell me that!!

Okay then...go to www.photobucket.com you can create a FREE account. Upload your pics there...then you can post the IMG here. So hurry up Junior and get to it... :)

boa68, a good freind of mine has a picture of him and his grampa at a fair with their 3200 pound red angus(it is a bull) but red angus cows can get 1800-2200 pounds. Show me a pig that size. The biggest Ive ever heard of a sow getting is about 900 pounds.

OK i just nocited that you were wanting to sell a 23 foot afrock for $1000 to $1500? are you out of your mind? that snake just isnt worth that much money. and any potential buyer DONT BUY IT!!!! if you want to get an afrock ill send you somewhere that you can buy one for MUCH cheaper (im talking about a tenth of the price). and even then you will still be paying too much for an afrock. also that story of the 440 kilo 49 foot long retic is false. it was major speculation and it has since been disproved. im sorry to rain on your parade but that snake isnt worth that much money and the 49 foot retic isnt real.
There are tame retics so there are tame afrocks, right? Maybe my afrock isnt worth 1000-1500 to you but it sure is to me. As I say another mans junk is another mans treasure!

Actually, I told you how to post the pics PROPERLY so that they'll fit.. I guess you decided to ignore that post??? If you HAVE this animal and you have pics, why not post them?? It sure beats looking like a troll wouldn't you say??
-Matt
I got an idea why dont you email the pics to Matt K.....im sure he can post them up for us to see. Matt im sure would be more than happy to do it for you and prove us all wrong.
By all means, you can send them to Matt@MattKameka.com and if for some strange reason, that doesn't work.. Send em to Matt@ssnakess.com And if THAT doesn't work, PM me on here and i'll send you 10 more email addy's you can try.. :D
Man im tired of you guys saying im a liar! If you guys dont believe me I dont give a flying **** but I know I have my giant at my house and shes awesome! I shouldnt have to prove it. If you believe it, good, if you dont as i said above............ I have no time or patience to deal with u.......

Chachi,
We've all had fun. We're now tired. Go clean up your room, finish your homework and stop seeking attention, enough is enough!

and then
"but I know I have my giant at my house and shes awesome!"

Does anyone have any of these "flying ****'s" for sale? Can I get a pair in red axanthic, het for butterscotch? Can I pasture them with my flying Christmas trees or is there a chance of them hybridizing?
I shouldn't egg this on, but might I mention MOST, if not, ALL parents of a 14 year old child would not allow a pig-eating "monster" to be cared for by someone so young and obviously inexperienced.
If your parents actually allow you to own and care for such a large and potentially dangerous animal they should have Child Protective Services called on them. I don't care if they are "Around" when you feed it, at your age you should be playing with cornsnakes.
If you have photos, post them. Some here want proof, but other than that we might actally enjoy looking at the magnificent creature you portray, even if it's not 23 feet.
I, personally, love AFROCKS and don't care if it's 1 foot or 100 feet, I'd still like to see it.

Wow buddy sorry to say but i think everyone is right..sounds like some BS. Your story just isnt strong enuff to make sense to all of these VERY snake educated people believe it. Ill give you benifit of the doubt seeing as I am not to knowledgable on all this quite yet. BUT ill do ya a favour, you email me the picture of your record breaking 23 foot, 200 KILO Afrok and i will crop it down and get it posted up here for you....to proove all of us who hesitate to believe this.
Maybe you should think of calling Guinness and getting this monster into the record books!

10-11-04, 07:33 PM
Ha this snake gets better and better as i read about it.
Bears have cubs....cows have calves.
I live in the country near many farms and pigs can get HUGE some pigs can get to larger then a cow...but with all animals it depends on the specific animal..and someone metiond feeding it a goat..that is DEFINATLY not going to be bigger then a cow or a pig.
I didnt leave my address last time but Chachi send me an email with your pic if you want princessnicole84@hotmail.com

10-11-04, 07:44 PM
Im going thru this forum page by page to make sure i miss nothing...and buddy you must have TONS of time on your hands seeing that you have taken the time to come online and tells us all this fairytale. BUT i wil agree with you on one thing that yes there are tame Afrock...my bf and i own one...mind you, your beast probably s#@!'s bigger then our snake is HAHA. And most people that love there pet no matter what it is...WILL HAVE PICTURES OF IT ALL READY...and you say your too busy to GET pics.
Tame african rocks are out there.. theres more aggressive ones like my 300 footer (really 12 feet 8.5 inches) with a diameter of 5 feet... but there still out there..
As for feeding .. man there is not such a thing as a pig that is too big.. a 200 pound rock would eat a 50 pound pig.. if thats too small .. as previously stated .. they do get up to 900 pounds..
I love afican rocks and I am pretty sure that there is no rocks over 18 feet in canada except possibly the one that Captive bred Wolf reptiles or something like that had for sale a year or so ago ..
PS ..
You are full of it CHACHI ..
PICS ARE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
Heres a pic of my almost 13 foot 75 pound baby .. I'd love to see a 23 foot 200 kilo animal!

i mean do u really expect a 14 yr kid to know his measurements and weight properly? his 23 prob means 10 and his 200kg prob means 100 pounds lol.. think about it.. when u were 14 and u saw somethin that was 10 feet.. i dun think ull actually KNOW it was 10 and think it would at least be 20.. juss how kids work.. rite? well anyways.. that kinda entertained me for like 20 mins :D peace peepz.. keep it real

Hey, Nat, I've never been to that place you mentioned, but i read in a website that what they have is a big burm. Are you sure it wasn't a burm what you saw?
PEOPLE!!!!!! I would'nt take the time to respond to this post if i was you, Obviously it's B.S. This dude is not only talking he has an above average rock but a world record!... I am taking the time to respond to it only to let you know he is full of crap but that a small pig runs in the range of about $350.00 and a Calf runs about $700.00 but a JACKASS!!! only costs about $150.00 ;)

jimmy- they had burms, afrocks, and rectics... about 4 large displays dedicated large snakes. The afrock made the news awhile back because it laid a clutch of eggs that was then destroyed. I went and checked their website to see if they said anything about their afrock but I couldn't find anything.
