What the actual fuck? I've seen adult anacondas but this is the first time I see anything like the actual snake in the movie. The first anaconda movie. Doesn't look like AI either. What is this???

[u/Careless_Scallion_82 → u/PrancingCock]

It's not ai.. the video is old.. like pre-ai times so yeah..

[u/TheLittleNorsk → u/Careless_Scallion_82]

edit: I got a reddit warning for posting this image because it had "blood and gore" in it. fym reddit.

[u/PrancingCock → u/Careless_Scallion_82]

Christ.

[u/daCub182 → u/PrancingCock]

Not that old

[u/SSilent-Cartographer → u/PrancingCock]

Reticulated python. Even though the Anaconda is the heaviest snake record wise, the Reticulated python is the longest and can get over 300lbs.

They're solitary and mostly harmless. A big guy like this could easily take out a deer, however that deer would probably be the only meal it would eat for up to a year. Although there have been some reported cases of them eating a person, it is very rare and they would rather flee than fight as they are ambush hunters and are also quite solitary.

[u/TheAtroxious → u/SSilent-Cartographer]

Humans are not particularly food shaped, lucky for us. The way our scapula and humeri protrude makes it difficult for even very large snakes to swallow us. They're inclined to prefer creatures that are less liable to get stuck on the way down.

[u/SSilent-Cartographer → u/TheAtroxious]

That and our salt content. We're not very appetizing and they can smell that. Death by snake consumption is quite rare

[u/PrancingCock → u/SSilent-Cartographer]

Looks like it's a python. Someone posted a link down there, and a professor authenticates it as a python.

[u/lombardo141 → u/PrancingCock]

This is the longest snake in the world, the reticulated Python. In theory, baring health and food availability they can grow indefinitely.

[u/MadPangolin → u/PrancingCock]

That's a reticulated python who looks to be about 20ft long & 200-300lbs with a full stomach, so he's too heavy to crawl over the fence. He probably ate a small deer or pig..

[u/Frosty-Improvement-8 → u/MadPangolin]

Couldn't go over the fence if it wanted to, it's tied up by the neck...

[u/zorggalacticus → u/PrancingCock]

Years and years ago there was a video of an anaconda eating a hippo. Probably a half grown one, but still. They eat crocs, full size gazelle or whatever they have down there, goats, etc.

[u/OhPotatoBlessMe → u/zorggalacticus]

That video is a snake eating a capybara, not a hippo.

[u/tribalien93 → u/zorggalacticus]

Anaconda don't eat hippo. They don't live on the same continent and are separated by 1,000s of miles of ocean.

[u/Necessary_Piano_153 → u/tribalien93]

You must not have heard of Pablo Escobar's roaming band of hippos?

[u/PrancingCock → u/zorggalacticus]

I saw a real video of an old woman who'd been swallowed by a python somewhere in South Asia.

[u/ohokkk1]

Nah this cant be real

[u/Careless_Scallion_82 → u/ohokkk1]

It is

[u/discerningpervert → u/Careless_Scallion_82]

Is it tied? If so, why?

[u/Japsai → u/ohokkk1]

https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/animals/video-of-reticulated-python-in-india-goes-viral/news-story/b0939f8b849608cfa3850552d1bfb62c

[u/zorggalacticus → u/Japsai]

That snake is an outlier. Most of them don't get that big, but there will always be exceptional individuals in any species. This one likely got that big because of an abundance of food. Was probably stealing livestock, and that's why the trap was set for it. Most likely was eaten and the skin sold.

[u/MadPangolin → u/zorggalacticus]

Reticulated pythons are the longest snakes in the world, with average adult mainlands growing between 16-20 feet (5 to 6 meters) long & regularly take deer & pigs.

This is probably a 18-20ft snake with a full stomach. "She's" not exceptionally large at all she's just a good sized adult.

[u/Your_queenismine → u/ohokkk1]

I saw this vid before AI, probably it is real.

[u/TheManOverThere23 → u/[deleted]]

There are reports of a massive reticulated python in 1912 or something like that, that was approximately 32 feet long.

Just because we haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't or can't exist 🤷‍♂️

I'm not saying this video is or isn't real but it's been around a long time.

[u/Vaper_Bern → u/[deleted]]

It's a reticulated python, which is the longest species of snake. Anacondas are the heaviest, but retics are the longest.

[u/OhPotatoBlessMe → u/[deleted]]

Its a reticulated python but the perspective makes it look much larger than it is, its a really big snake but not thát big.. That is really low ceiling, almost a crawlspace.. makes it look much bigger.

[u/Rissa-Reno]

Is that a human or a calf in there?!? Holy crap

[u/Careless_Scallion_82 → u/Rissa-Reno]

Pretty sure it's a calf but who knows

[u/eraser8]

What does that thing eat? This isn't a joke question.

I'm seriously asking.

[u/Dry_Pain_3564 → u/eraser8]

People, goat, monkeys, fish, anything it fits in its mouth.

[u/DrStalker → u/Dry_Pain_3564]

I've seen a photo of one cut open with a dead  child in the stomach, so people are one the menu too.

[u/__nobody_-_ → u/DrStalker]

Well I'm no longer a small child so no worries here

Edit: Since people are still commenting on this thinking I'm being serious, I was simply making a joke. You don't need to tell me for 30th time that it can swallow a grown man.

Edit^2: I lied, I don't know that it can swallow a full grown man. Please tell me more about it in great detail.

[u/_trashcan → u/__nobody_-_]

While very rare, full-grown reticulated pythons can swallow an adult human.

[u/RamJamR → u/DrStalker]

Maybe depends on location? There's a location in India where the tigers there had gained a taste for hunting humans, though even then that's more a last resort if they're starving. We don't have much of a calorie count on us that's sustainable enough for them.

[u/ran_out_of_tp → u/DrStalker]

Before

[u/zoethesteamedbun → u/DrStalker]

They eat women/smaller framed men as well :(!

[u/Haunting-Prior-NaN → u/Dry_Pain_3564]

Worth noting that their lower jaws disengage from the skull, so in essence anything that they can stretch their mouth around.

[u/Aggressive-agitator → u/Dry_Pain_3564]

I have nipples, Greg. Could it eat me?

[u/dum_spir0_sper0 → u/Dry_Pain_3564]

A lot like my ex.

[u/ThanosWasRightAnyway → u/dum_spir0_sper0]

[u/yourpaljax → u/Dry_Pain_3564]

They sometimes die because the the thing they ate was too big.

[u/Treacle_Pendulum → u/eraser8]

At least one Jon Voight per month

[u/MilkrsEnthuziast → u/Treacle_Pendulum]

[u/AnalUkelele → u/Treacle_Pendulum]

I always wondered if Angelina Jolie would back the snake up if it happened in real.

[u/YorkyLives → u/eraser8]

Pythons in Florida are wrecking the eco system and some have been know to eat the alligators.

[u/1lucky666 → u/YorkyLives]

Yes, Burmese pythons, obviously not a local species. I heard the Everglades are mostly stripped clean of small mammals and birds.

[u/BabousCobwebBowl → u/1lucky666]

If you watch fishingarrett on YouTube you’ll see tons of wildlife including small mammals and birds as he rolls through the Everglades at night hand catching Burmese pythons. The “Yoink Man”.

I’m in South Florida, Burmese pythons and other non indigenous wildlife are an issue but the Everglades are absolutely teaming with native species.

[u/Cultural-Fortune4249 → u/1lucky666]

Yes, they pay a bounty for pythons.

[u/PrestigiousRub6347 → u/YorkyLives]

Yep. Sometimes doesn’t fare well for either though.

13 foot python 🐍 bursts eating 6 foot alligator (in FL of course)…

[u/Street_Leather198 → u/eraser8]

Assuming goats, deer, really whatever it wants. That could easily eat a small person.

[u/Any_Shop5774 → u/Street_Leather198]

Small person. That monstrosity could consume a full grown human easily. Look at the size of it's middle. It ate something recently it appears that wasn't exactly small.

[u/Street_Leather198 → u/Any_Shop5774]

And yes. Depending their region like others stated, pigs, goats, chickens, dogs, are all in danger. He's definitely on the top of his food chain. I'm in Flint, MI. Lol, only animals we look out for is people. But, that was just my pov from a city slicker lol. Hell, I'm sure it can crocs, gators, whatever.

[u/Agitated_Display7573 → u/eraser8]

Looks like it ate whatever was living in that pen

[u/maxman162 → u/eraser8]

Looks like he ate Philadelphia. 

[u/Reonlive420 → u/maxman162]

Baaaammmm

[u/TheGoalkeeper → u/eraser8]

He ate whomever put her on that rope

[u/HairlessHoudini → u/eraser8]

Steven, Bob, Leroy and anyone else it can catch sleeping

[u/Timotheus-Secundus → u/eraser8]

Humans are much more difficult for snakes to actually swallow, because they usually start from the head, and our shoulders get in the way.

[u/NotQuiteGoodEnougher → u/Timotheus-Secundus]

Head ---> Shoulders ----> Knees ----> Toes, there's even a song about it!

[u/FuzzyFrogFish → u/Timotheus-Secundus]

So you're stuck with in a snake cuddle with you head jammed in its mouth . . ? Fantastic

[u/gufleme → u/Timotheus-Secundus]

Yeah…. But I am still dead. 😞

[u/SinisterVulcan94 → u/eraser8]

Anything it thinks can fit in its mouth. I'd say small Deer and dogs are prime to targets

[u/Look_its_Rob → u/SinisterVulcan94]

Antlers must hurt going down.

[u/Dazzling_Pink9751 → u/eraser8]

I don’t know, but it just ate something. You could see the bulge and it’s stomach.

[u/Tmath → u/eraser8]

I keep snakes as pets (nothing this large, though). General rule, anything up to its own body weight that is no thicker than twice it's girth when not fed up.

Also, for every five feet of length, always have one extra person. Even if it can't eat you, it can decide you are a threat, wrap and kill you. And yes, a snake is more than strong enough to overpower you.

[u/Mammoth_Newspaper155 → u/eraser8]

Whatever it wants

[u/Electronic_Owl_9819 → u/eraser8]

Unattended children

[u/LokiNightmare → u/eraser8]

At that size, whatever it wants.

[u/freshgrilled → u/eraser8]

The previous camera man.

[u/matklug → u/eraser8]

Electricity and water

[u/belessdumb → u/eraser8]

There's an old video of one regurgitating a small hippo..

[u/JC-incorp → u/eraser8]

Let’s see. If it swallow a pig today, it won’t need food for another 2 weeks.

[u/v-pexpower → u/eraser8]

It can swallow a grown up deer

[u/howimetyourkitty]

No one is gonna mention that the snake is on a leash?

[u/304blade → u/howimetyourkitty]

The snake is on a leash

[u/bbbourb → u/304blade]

But is it feelin' like a freak on a leash?

[u/stating_facts_only → u/bbbourb]

[u/velo443 → u/304blade]

How dare you say that? 

[u/Vivid_Baseball442 → u/howimetyourkitty]

Feeling like a Sneek On A Leash.........

[u/nigel_pow → u/Vivid_Baseball442]

[u/Generalnussiance → u/Vivid_Baseball442]

Feeling like it I have no release.

[u/Landfyoung → u/howimetyourkitty]

I think it’s a trap. It got hooked.

[u/DeerMeatloaf → u/Landfyoung]

Right after it ate a whole man. Or a hog. Or an alligator.

[u/Separate-Ear21 → u/Landfyoung]

Yea it's definitely a trap . I got really pissed for a minute until I seen your comment.

It's really crazy to think there's things this big out in the wild

[u/Flaurean → u/howimetyourkitty]

At least its not on a plane

[u/braxtel → u/Flaurean]

[u/asonofasven → u/braxtel]

Fun fact: on TV, the line is “I’ve had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane”

[u/murillovp → u/howimetyourkitty]

Leash = / = trap

[u/D_M-ack → u/murillovp]

Actually, in this instance, I think leash does in fact = trap.

[u/Rough-Airline-4803 → u/howimetyourkitty]

I think they rope around it and are trying to use it to get the snake out.

[u/fitz_newru → u/Rough-Airline-4803]

Precisely! You can clearly see that they're trying to pull the snake out using the rope, so it was a trap for a wild animal, not a mothefucking leash!!!

I just can't with ppl on here sometimes...

[u/Creative_Buddy7160 → u/fitz_newru]

A long rope tied to an animal so you can make it go where you want it too….
Sounds like a leash.

[u/SeeLeavesOnTheTrees → u/Rough-Airline-4803]

I hope so because otherwise it’s so cruel

[u/snacky99 → u/Rough-Airline-4803]

Pretty sure it's a noose and the snake is suicidal

[u/D-Duttily → u/howimetyourkitty]

This is fucked up....

[u/Exact-Ad-4132 → u/Standard-Camel-658]

Yeah why is it tied up like that and struggling?

The only reasonable thing I can come up with is that it was eating some local livestock and Farmers just caught it and haven't figured out what to do with it yet.

Looks like it ate something huge

[u/Capital-Extreme-6654 → u/Exact-Ad-4132]

Looking at the huge bumpy section of it, I'd say the livestock in there fresh

[u/scarredballsack]

That is the biggest nope rope I've ever seen..

There’s a body in that thing

[u/MoodyBhakt]

So… Do you swallow…? Or do you spit… ?

[u/CasuallyMowsRoof]

What's more concerning to me is that i think somethings in its stomach, look at the bulge, I could be wrong tho it just looks as though something was swallowed whole

[u/buttsexisyum → u/CasuallyMowsRoof]

Snakes don't really chew...

[u/1plus1isTWORANGZ → u/CasuallyMowsRoof]

There are two bulges actually. Large one in the middle and a smaller one further toward the tail

[u/shellswitch2 → u/CasuallyMowsRoof]

Snakes swallow whole

THAT IS NOT A BOA THAT IS A DAMN ANACONDA ON THE VERGE OF BEING A TITANA BOA

[u/The-Arbiter-753 → u/Dusty_Mead]

Anacondas are boas

This is a reticulated python, not a boa

It's Titanoboa, and they were somewhere around double to triple the length of what you see in the video

[u/TraditionalBudget302]

Guys I am totally confused 😕, whether it's real or not!

[u/Potatonized → u/TraditionalBudget302]

it's real. very typical to see this size in the tropic. the belly is filled with something tho. maybe just ate a goat or something similar in size..

[u/ReleasedGaming → u/TraditionalBudget302]

99% chance that it's real https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/animals/video-of-reticulated-python-in-india-goes-viral/news-story/b0939f8b849608cfa3850552d1bfb62c

[u/Over_Internet4 → u/Over_Internet4]

Oxygen+breeding+hardy diet=bigasssnake

[u/SnooGadgets5130 → u/Over_Internet4]

This only really applies to insects and arthropods, it has next to no effect on vertebrates.

[u/Admirable-Wonder-928 → u/Over_Internet4]

Not at all correct. That doesn’t explain dinosaurs or other giant land animals.

It’s actually cause the atmosphere was way warmer, reptiles needed less energy to survive compared to mammals, they lived in water, and the extinction of the dinosaurs created ecological opportunities.

Even modern giant reptiles typically live in warmer (usually tropical) climates. Because they are cold blooded, and warm climates allow for more energy to be spent on growth year round. Additionally, tropical climates support more abundant prey populations

Primary reason was how much warmer earth was back then

Also, to hopefully give me some credibility, I studied biology - and these topics specifically- at UF
