its a pdf, gotta download it.
exceed 25 feet? possible. 30? The snake's physiology and the ecosystem won't allow it.
Titanoboa is an ancient and now extinct species that lived in a world greatly different from our own. Equatorial Colombia millions of years ago.
The absence of proof/proof of absence argument, while valid, is an extremely weak one. In my opinion with the popularity of these species in captivity and the frequency of "50 foot pythons" found in the wild that if one of these snakes could reach 30 feet, it would have happened already. Now if someone brings forth irrefutable proof of one of the big 3 hitting 30 ft, I'll gladly eat my words, but until then, I'll call anyone claiming such a thing full of $4!t, especially when every claim of a larger python, when investigated by scientists, has been bunk.
