July 20, 20196 yr I googled 'largest Burmese python in Thailand'. "Length: up to 7m Most specimens do remain smaller. The longest example was owned by the owner of a private zoo in Bangkok, Mr. Siah and reached a total length of 8,8 m.Distribution: from North Thailand to the Isthmus of Kra It also said that they can present a danger to humans. Imagine walking under a tall tree and drops its loops around you...….. 'Kaa' in The Jungle Book scene comes to mind!!

July 20, 20196 yr I haven't heard of one eating a human.. in Oz they like crocks & kangaroos though..
July 20, 20196 yr This beautiful snake is certainly capable of killing humans but certainly not eating them!

July 20, 20196 yr Nearly got eaten by a human eating snake in Loi Kroh OK, calm down. So, you were walking near the stream and a python leapt out at you and grabbed you in its mouth and tried to swallow you whole? It's quite rare but I will believe your story if you will show a little more evidence. Any witnesses?
July 20, 20196 yr plenty of two legged snakes on loi kroh, they go for the wallet first, then your soul.

There were some Thais who also saw it , they lived in the adjacent house
July 20, 20196 yr The girls told a friend of mine, who was familiar with the area, that those that are keeniow are thrown into the moat and are never seen again hence there is a huge decline in customers of late.
July 20, 20196 yr The wife came across a large reticulated python in our street a while back. It had become entangled in chicken netting and had dragged it and a post some distance to the edge of the road. Before we could get the snake rescue people in the migrant workers had carted the already wrapped feast back to their camp.
July 20, 20196 yr That snake could not eat a person that weighted much over 10 kg. I would worry a lot more about the sneaky 2 legged snakes that inhabit Thailand. Some even wear uniforms.

July 20, 20196 yr On 7/15/2019 at 8:21 PM, sanemax said: They also kill and eat humans A reticulated python cannot manage to swallow an adult human before they are more than 10 to 12 meters long. In Indonesia there is an area where there disappears a farmer or two every year. When they do catch big snakes there they are said to be 12 meters or or more in length. Science has never gotten there soon enough to measure them, because a snake that big can feed an entire village. A problem with reticulated pythons is that they are aggressive compared to other snakes, they attack very quickly.
July 20, 20196 yr Had this puppy cruising the hood last year. We live in Bangkok, nowhere near any heavy growth.
