If You Saw This Next To Your Boat...

[Teutonic Knight]

It probably wouldn't do anything to you anyway.  Snakes hunts by scent... he's looking for  mammals and large rodents.  Didn't you ever see those Anaconda hunts on Nat Geo?  The snake does not attack you until you grab it.

Fuck it, once I stumble on about 4m long (around 14ft) scrub piton
almost shit myself

"Machete?"

"Machete?"

No why to kill, native spices 

[flinstones1]

They have shown that Anacondas do actively hunt...and apparently people have been grabbed by an anaconda that was stalking them, just waiting. By smell and sight.

Which is why I said, just paddle away slowly...like you were a log or something...

I love threads like these. I have always been fascinated by man eating snakes....

on average 10,000 people a year die from crocodiles. Hippos are  numero uno.....snakes are way way down on the totem pole but it would be crazy to think they haven't eaten people...in the rainforest? hell yeah

Come to Australia (Queensland/Northern Teritory) & "play" with sharks,salt water crocks or jelly fish,
no need to mention snakes or creepy crawlies

I'd rather use some mayo, but that's a matter of taste.

[MORTALCOIL]

I'd log on to Getbig, find a Cswol pic or vid and show it to the creature.

..you have no large land predators, like bears, wolves, mountain lions, tigers, lions, jaguars, leopards.
About the only large predators you ever did have (except the dinosaurs) were very large monitor lizards, and a carnivorous kangaroo. And that was eons of yrs ago.

We have the great whites, we have the venomous snakes, although not as venomous as in Australia. And we have crocs and alligators, except the neither get as big, and the gators are not as aggressive as the salties.

Down in South America, there is a whole lot more lurking in the water...just watch River Monsters...

Hans't Australia got like 5 or 6 of the 10 most venomous snakes just on their own? And 3 or 4 of the 10 most dangerous spiders?

[daddy8ball]

My zippers down again?

Yeah, but the thing about them is, apparently they have evolved in harsh environments, and have small fangs, and the yield is less. So, to compensate, the theory goes, the venom is ultra potent per bite.

And then you have the South American Chicken Eating Spiders...and the Brazilian Wander Spider which is highly aggressive

There is a spider in Australia that sits under the toliet seat if it bites you I understand it's deadly I was there once for a couple of weeks afraid to to take a shit, serious.

Yep, that's a scary one. You'd be tempted to grab one "natchural/organic" bananas and suddenly you're going into full muscle shock. Dr.Chimps, be my guest.

[THE BOUNCER]

What would be your first thoughts?

I would hit it with an Ab shot

[The Onion]

on average 10,000 people a year die from crocodiles.

I think the crocodiles that you got your information from may have been exaggerating a bit.

[hench]

whenever a snake is cut open thats eaten something large it always looks intact so what does it get out of it nutritionally?

I would roll up my sleeves and show that little worm some real pythons and say, "Whatcha gonna do when these 24 inch pythons run wild on you?"

[Mr Anabolic]

Faked.

25 footer?

[flinstones1]

Actually jelly fish is the numero 1, enough poison to eliminate 20 getbigers  
Jeremy Wade from River Monsters "forgot" to play with them 
when filming sharks & sword fishes in Queensland/Western Australia.
