One could say that they are the world's largest and most comprehensive list of inaccurate world records! 
Irony, much?!

Re: True length of "record" giant pythons.
Funny story...one of the guys at the pet store said he had a 13ft bci...I kinda laughed a little bit...is that even possible? Cause as soon as I told him I had a retic and a ball, and was looking at a bci, that snake shrunk to 8 ft xD

Sounds like an appropriate description to me.

Lol, big surprise... I've heard similar reports, someone sent me to a link of a 15ft bcc from the amazon, a certain locality gets huge, I'll try and find the picture. There was a study that accompanied it but the link was dead and I never was able to find a title.

Biggest load of horse poop ever, find a source to back up your claims or you're no better than the people running around saying they get 30 ft and dine on humans. You guys see the problem with spreading this misinformation? We're perpetuating the notion that these amazing and intelligent animals are nothing but monsters.

He may mean the 17 footer that was recently found.

Once again this was a load of propaganda.
Anybody with any experience with giant snakes could easily tell from the picutre that the Burmese Python caught was no where near 17ft. The animal in the picture from the report I saw on the BBC was only around 13ft.
Secondly did anybody notice how good a condition the animal was in?
That particular animal was either only released recently or god forbid the government of any country would lie it was actually never caught in the everglades in the first place, but by saying it was and adding several feet to its size sure does make it easier to justify the killing of these snakes.

Me and several other uk memebers have already been there.
BUT all we are saying is the photos released of Medusa are not of a 24/25 foot snake, not saying she isnt that big but merely stating she isnt that big in the pictures provided and everytime we were provided with a picture which argued the point that the snake in question she wasnt 24/25ft and when everyone eventually agreed it was then said it was an old picture. (I'm not sure if it was Harry himself or someone that works with him that was posting etc) Though I doubt she would have grown much if any over the last few years.
Shes a very big and beautiful snake, but she isn't 24/25ft in any of the pictures flying about.

Re: True length of "record" giant pythons.
BBC News - Giant Burmese python caught in Florida
No where near 17ft as you can tell.
Also I like the way they mention '87 eggs' so they can frighten people even more and convince them each escaped snake is producing '87' offspring.
Oh don't you just love the media lol.

Lot of slugs in that picture for sure. I heard somewhere the snake was actually caught in the spring and they didn't release the info until now, no surprise why... when I'm not on my phone I'm gonna look at the pictures again but I didn't think it looked like a 17 footer either.

Re: True length of "record" giant pythons.
Here's the latest
The dead snake was 55ft (16.7m) long, weighed 300kg and was estimated to be 140 years old, according to the post. Biggest snake in the world forest in Malaysia.
It was on my facebook so it has to be true.
