Snakes are pure muscle. Anyone handling a constricter measuring six feet or longer by themselves is running the risk of being killed. That you've had the pet for years, raised from birth, have twenty years as a herpetologist, .or believe you've a special bond, it is an extremely foolish venture. Pythons are very skilled, powerful, and very efficient killers.
Before human encroachment, habitat destruction, and extensive deforestation, these animals could approach ten meters in length. Real large specimens are now extremely rare if not entirely now absent. The anaconda in south America faces a similar situation. I once had a very young tic about two meters. Major-ass attitude. She'd nail me any chance she got. And yes, snakes have teeth. Once she left her enclosure to tour the house. Finally I did find her. Incredibly, she had curled up and tightly wedged herself in back of the refrigerator, between the posterior wall and the cooling grate.
Your tank or whatever should have a secure closing top or lid, - and do not pile bricks or books on it, - place a lock on it ! Because the snake 'can' get out, - it WILL get out. Lock it.
Our one little ball python (less than a year old, about 700mm long) managed to get out of his cage a couple of weeks ago. He figured out how to open the sliding glass door by lying right against it and moving his muscles to move the glass (we saw him trying it again, but this time the doors were locked.
They are definitely hide and seek champions. 😂
We eventually found him 2 hours later, after my son, wife and I took turns searching the room. Found it less about 1.5m away from the cage. This after THREE people extensively searched the room.
Love my reptiles to death.
The six feet or long feels like exaggerating. Snakes only try to wrap up what they feel they can eat, and a six foot snake has no chance of eating a person besides maybe a small toddler. Although, if I ever have a child, then no snake until they’re a teenager at least.
In 1978, when I was ten years old, I had a harrowing encounter with a fully grown anaconda in the dense foliage, just 7 miles west of a jungle town named Mathews Ridge, Guyana. The snake lunged so dangerously close, and I could feel the disturbance of air on my skin and an explosion of leaves as I sprinted down a narrow jungle path, flanked by rivers on both sides, concealed by thick vegetation. My younger brother, who had turned to look back at me, spotted the snake and screamed, wide-eyed, "It's a dragon!" It was the largest snake I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of big snakes in my 56 years.
Yikes ! Anacondas, with eyes set high up for swimming, are creepy AF. Cheers from Chicago.
which size was it in your opinion?
I've personally seen Medusa several times over the years, she is massive! And has grown over the years.
I heard she passed away. Do u have any news on that?
@@dirkz.duggitz1567 As of August 31, 2023 she was still very much alive, and on display at The Edge of Hell haunted attraction in Kansas City MO. I would imagine that the local stations in Kansas City will make an announcement when she passes away. They usually do a news piece on her every year at the beginning of the season that the haunted houses are open. I haven't seen any coverage indicating she has died between August and now.
Who but a complete idiot would climb a tree for safety in a severe storm? I don't think even Forrest Gump would be that stupid.
I thought the same thing
7:14 typically the advice for keeping big snakes is to always have another person in the room when you do something with it. Even the most docile snake has a prey drive, and all it takes is one case of mistaken identity.
They aren’t great pets for most people, but there is a dwarf reticulated python (same species, just comes from an island where they don’t get as big) that doesn’t get big enough to be a threat to an adult keeper. Breeders are working on getting all the morphs (color types) of regular reticulated pythons over to the dwarf retics, so people can have these beautiful snakes without needing backup to feed them.
Some dwarfs get huge!!! If there is any mainland blood line you can bet.
@TurtlePharts mine strikes as soon as that for opens or she'll bite the hook she young though
Why in the world would anyone want to keep a snake.
@@marcopeel because they’re cool pets. They’re cheaper and easier to care for than dogs and cats (easier than most warm blooded pets, really). Their life spans vary wildly from species to species, so you can pick one that will live the time that you’re comfortable committing to. And it can be really cool to watch them. If you want, you can make the tank look like a little slice of forest- complete with a mini ecosystem and live plants.
I don’t own one, but I would like to eventually. I do have two geckos though, and they’re precious.
@@thatonepossum5766No thanks 😊
One thing to remember, with the overpopulation/deforestation of Indonesia and its surrounding island states, and dwindling resources, more pressure is being put on reticulated pythons. In their desperation, they'll seek other alternatives which puts them in direct conflict with humans. 99/100 times they lose.
99.99 times outa 100, at least, would be my guess.
@@LukeMcGuireoides
+0.1 no chance
The deck are you talking about? Most pythons attack happened in remote areas of Indonesia. Dont talk something you know little thing about.
@@harukrentz435yes but indonesia is a small island nation but has the 6th biggest population with a large percentage of people living outside of cities and most of their forests logged for plantations
@@samthomson3394 Indonesia is NOT small! It is the contrary. If you would put Indonesia on an European map in the same scale, the Western end would be in Ireland and the Eastern end would touch the URAL!
Love the video. As a Filipino who has these snakes around and also a keeper of reticulated pythons they really should be respected. They are very intelligent and the power they have is unbelievable. And also every information you have on them is 100% true because I've been trying to understand everything about them so I do research. They can also eat adult male leopards.
Snakes have small brains. They are not at all intelligent. They only think of food and sex.
Is it legal to export pythons in your country?
@@markhietala there are few people that I know who can export out of the country. And those are who know a lot about retics. Because some here in the Philippines just keep them as pets because they can just take one out of the wild without knowing anything like how to properly take care of them and give them their needs.
@@siegfredneiladefuin5651Do you know how to contact them? I have been trying to perchase a wild caught retic for very long time
@@markhietalaif you want a reticulated python try to get a dwarf subspecies (there is a subspecies of retis who are very small because of the small island they live on).
Back in the heyday of owning a python a friend of mine had an 18' retic. He was moving it from one habitat to another (by himself) and it anchored around his neck and and he had to beat its head against the wall to make it let go. I remember seeing him afterwards and the blood vessels in his eyes had burst and his throat/neck was black and blue.
Sounds pretty terrifying. I hope your friend was okay.
@@wildworld6264 Sounds like he made the snake Panic, and it's natural Instincts took over, he got lucky, hitting it against the wall usually makes it react and tighten even more.
I’m glad that your friend is ok and survived!!
Yet another great video my friend. I would agree that we're a much bigger threat to snakes, sharks, and other animals along those lines. Nature is NOT what people see in the movies. Animals are rarely out to get us, and the VERY few times they do, we caused it. Keep up the great work.
Well said, thank you.
And when they do, it means they are super sick or lack any food
The fact that the size claims are exaggerated is even scarier Essentially it means that most of the actual attacks are being caused by smaller snakes which are far more common.
No way man. A woman was just devoured by a 20 footer.
@@spookshow6999 there are snakes way smaller than that, that are far more deadly if you got attacked
As a keeper of retics, I have to say, this is the most reasonable video on the species I've seen. Much respect for not falling into the hype most creators have. Yes, retics are insanely powerful animals but they are also extremely intelligent for being a snake. This makes them an animal that, as you say, is best kept as a pet by VERY experienced keepers. I would love to see a 30 foot retic but it's just not going to happen. I wish it would though. Retics are beautiful animals that deserve our respect and admiration. They are not evil monsters but they are apex predators of their environment. I've photographed retics in captivity for years, I would love to photograph them in the wild. They are living works of art.
I once came face to face with a proper old grandmother monster. It was maybe 7m. The stretchy beard of skin under its gator-like muzzle made me quite sure i could have fit inside it.
The local old mountain men said they stake out hilltops and graze on wallabies like popcorn. When I saw the wallaby lump in its lower abdomen, i thought it was a giant goanna. Then i started counting meters and halfway up a little tree the face was there, watching me with a sort of amused gleam in its eye.
When it slithered away, I could see the sapling treetops shuddering as it shouldered past them. My conservative estimate was six meters, but it couldve been eight.
The look in the eye of the apex monsters in their element is quite a wake up call for my monkey hindbrain.
Have any of you guys seen the new video of the gigantic retic on the excavator. It looks massive, possibly the bigest one ever.
Agreed
de gustibus non est disputandum.
They have an attitude but I'd rather fight a retic than say a huge nasty tegu.
I have a friend up in Philadelphia area who had a Burmese python that measured 22ft 7 inches. He used a wheel to measure it. Contactors have a wheel for marking off land. It is accurate!@ The snake weighed 275 lbs. He went to a local farm an fed it pigs. Burmese pythons are eating machines as u know. He basically over fed him an it died. This was 2005. He never talked about records. But he said he measured Brutus 3 times.
NO ONE should ever handle a snake over like 7-8ft long alone. No one. It’s just asking for trouble.
Generally you have someone with you for a large boid or python (8+ feet)
Agreed
most attacks happen in plantations that used to be jungle. Humans are invading the python's home, not the other way around.
I'm old enough to remember a show called Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and the host Marlin Perkins wrestled between a 25' to 33' Anaconda and almost died but was helped by his younger assistant Jim who later became famous in his own right. I don't remember all the details, I was 8yrs old in the early 70's. The show was on Sunday evening right before Walt Disney weekly show.
Good memory - I recall that as well, but details are fuzzy...
I definitely remember too. 😊
i remember that very episode. the young guy saved him.
@@jasonhuttermusic424 its seems strange how our history is being erased. I cannot find the episode anywhere. Its like someone is trying to steal our childhood?
Yes I remember this programme wasn't the snake in a tree or on branch
You should make a “water monsters” type video but with snakes or other reptiles. (Mostly just wanna hear some cool stories about cobras)
Nice idea!
@@wildworld6264😅😅😅😅
Agreed
There is a man in my city who came to my school when I was in 6th grade, and brought his snakes. I was the only girl to volunteer to hold part of one. We kids lined up, you know, and each held part of the snake.
A couple decades later, I met the man, and we became friends. He had two pythons. I thought reticulated, but maybe all Burmese. One was an albino (if I remember correctly) and one was not. At least one of them was one of the snakes from his visit to my school. Both snakes were between 26-29 feet, one about 18 inches longer. I think 27' and 28'6". Maybe 25'6" and 27'?
HE TOLD ME at the time (around 2000) that they were the largest snakes measured, and although I wasn't sure about that at the time, I've never heard of a bigger one before or since.
I did see him measure them -- and even if he cheated somehow, he couldn't have added more than a foot. I know that doesn't do much for verification for your purposes, but personally, I believe they *do* grow to over 25', and I don't see why they couldn't grow a bit more if old and lucky....
Several years after I lost track of him I saw an article about him and his snakes in the news. "Utahn's Pet Burmese Python Dies at Age 43." (www.deseret.com/2009/12/4/20356687/utahn-s-pet-burmese-python-dies-at-age-43) (That's the record for longest-living snake in captivity.)
Another decade passed before I saw another article, this time not so sweet: "Twenty Burmese Pythons Discovered in Utah Man's Home."
www.newsweek.com/20-burmese-pythons-utah-man-1538246
As Indonesian I can confirm people here also tend to exaggerating sizes of snakes, particularly pythons and king cobras. Many videos for content only saying 'we found python that 9 m length' etc and they can be pretty stubborn at it. Just as you said in video, they can be dangerous but we can't blame them. Giant snakes are more threatened by humans rather than vice versa. There are even bushmeat market in North Sulawesi where people buy and eat reticulated python's meat.
It doesn't sound like it. A 20 footer just killed, and ate a woman there.
You have an awesome following here, a couple minute scroll through the comments and I was pleasantly surprised how well-educated your viewers appear to be and there was none of the "only good snake is a dead snake" type comments we typically see on snake topics. Great to see :-) I keep two 16ft retics and have worked with 22ft, 200+lb females before...so humbling interacting with a animal that powerful
Found your videos today. It's insane how underrated your channel is. Maybe just that long-form content is out of style. Regardless, I love your content mate. Keep it up!
I appreciate that! Thanks so much for watching.
On 6th June 2024 a mother of 6 name Maria Farida was found eaten by a 7 meter reticulated python in Sulawesi , Indonesia 😢
Awesome video man. I love the way you handle these topics that you're picking for videos, and even I learn something watching from your videos. Dude I can't even imagine what you would do with like a serious budget from like see like nat geo, because despite being "just a RUclips" doc, you're putting out such high quality already
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support 🙏
Most modern reticulated python populations have much smaller individuals, both due to dwindling prey sources that are hunted by humans, and being themselves Huntik by humans. A lot of retics in Thailand for example, are around three or 4 m long.
Many of them live inside cities, just like larger tropical versions of ratsnakes. Very large pythons, let alone attacks, are extremely rare. Also, those hunter gatherers that were getting hunted by the snakes were actually Pygmies, and not representative of the average size of the human species. They eventually won the battle by getting iron knives from the Spanish.
I have travelled the Philippines and heard some stories of Pythons killing humans. I have even seen a disgusting picture of an infant that was killed and halfway swallowed. This picture was on the title page of a lousy Manila newspaper. I heard one quite believable story told by an old man. The person being killed by a snake in Mindanao was a very small guy. People in the region are often quite small, so it is obviously possible that they might be killed and eaten by a giant snake. I experienced a HUGE and very tame Python in a local zoo. It really seems nearly impossilbe to estimate the length of a living snake. I am very sure though that it was about 5 m long.
Deforestation, excessive hunting and an extreme growth of the human population in South East Asia will surely cause more fatal encounters with giant snakes in the future. In remote areas some amazingly huge snakes seem to specialize in eating chicken, dogs, piglets, rats and goats. I have heard of big snakes living hidden under houses.
There is nothing here to speculate they eat full grown people there. Its funny i remember a few years ago looking at wikipedia which used to claim there was no evidence that any snake in the world can eat an adult human being. There were shows like Nat Geo which used to claim how it was impossible for snakes to do so coming up with wild theories about how our shoulders are designed. Well that quickly changed when all the video evidence started coming out and full grown adults were found inside their bellies. Now Wikipedia has multiple different sources of people found to be killed and consumed by them that they know of.
A snake like a reticulated python is an apex predator. Most people seem to forget about that when they are feeding them rats and such. Besides the python wouldn't have to be a giant to constrict and possibly devour a child. And in the wild the young, old, or injured are just the kind of prey that most predators will target first. Love your channel btw
Years ago in a pet shop in London an employee was trying to persuade me to buy a reticulated python I was 14 years old. My dad would have been furious. Great video. I just found your channel. #subscribed ❤
Thanks, I appreciate it. Seems a bit risky to try and persuade someone into getting a reticulated python, seems like a high commitment snake.
@@wildworld6264 its a huge commitment, unfortunate that some pet shops use predatory tactics like this, knowing that uninformed people won't know how big the snake (or any other animal for that matter) will get.
I took a nasty bite from a friends Retic years ago. If he hadn’t been right there with me, I don’t think I would have made it out of that room. 14 ft Retic, grabbed my right thigh and started pulling me into his enclosure. The power that snake that, I was completely screwed. I will never forget how helpless I felt in that first few seconds. My friend was able to pull me away from it, but a lot of the snakes teeth broke off in my thigh and it got infected eventually. It was 100% my fault that it happened. I did exactly what he had just told me not to do. So no hard feelings for the snake. Lol….
Whoah, that sounds terrifying!!!!
@@taleandclawrock2606 very much so. Thought I was a goner for a second there.
They are wild reptiles, and they can turn nasty in an instant, especially if hungry ......snakes should NEVER be kept as pets, full stop, because they are unpredictable.
"lol."
Put some salt on live lair snake salt water marsh research.
Hey, Love your content man! You deserve more subs. ❤
Thanks, I appreciate it.
I love snakes! Maybe another video about the tiniest snake?
I think there's some possibility that some individual snakes in the past may have gotten a little bigger than today. With humans destroying the snakes habitat smaller size is selected for due to less food, and larger snakes are more likely to be killed if encountered thus removing "giant genes" from the gene pool. So I believe there is truth to some tales of very large snakes but they have naturally been exaggerated, but as we can see shrinking in many animals even within the lifetime of some older folks some select snakes getting to 25+ feet isn't beyond possible imo.
Generally speaking yes,but its a big world & there's still some places unspoiled by man. There could be a couple 24-25 footers out there. 7 meters or more.
Can you do a vid on constrictor species large enough to harm humans. You could have Burmese and Indian rock pythons. The two species of African rock pythons. The several Amethystian species ,Olive and Oenpelli pythons. Two species of Boa Contrictors. The several species of Anaconda and several other large species I can't think of at moment.
I raised Burmese pythons back in mid 70s. Its true. Ive seen some in my circles at least 20 ft EASY. THEIR appetite is something to behold. Lol they never refuse food. My biggest one was an albino. She was 17 ft. Yes i measured her several times. Then i got married an sold my snakes to make our parent's happy. (Kids) I knew people with retics but nothing even near 15ft. Look at what they are doing in fl!@ WOW My opinion handling both types.....burmese are much stronger!!
out of all the cryptids I think the oran pendek could be the most plausible one, have you thought about that?
Yeah I'd like to look more into the orang pendek and maybe even make a video about it. Just curious, if you don't mind me asking, why do you think it could be the most plausible one?
@@wildworld6264 mostly because of the location, the areas that it's reported from are very unexplored and it's curious that the homo floresiensis was from that area, not that I believe it exists but the one I'd be the least surprised if it did
@@fredhothotfred6288 Cool, thanks for letting me know.
*EXCEPT CATS…. just sayin…. 😂
In other words, retics are more dangerous than anacondas.
Never let the snakes catch you lacking.
I think there WILL be a 30 foot snake, but it will be someone’s overfed fat pet snake… a guy on RUclips who calls himself Prehistoric Jay has ginormous snakes.
Anacondas almost never exceed 20 feet. Pythons do but not much. Burmese pythons and African rock pythons both have exceeded 20ft. I have seen several Retics that were just over 21 feet. (I have 40 years experience with giant reptiles).
What about African rocks in the congo. Probably none over 20ft?
It’s the girth of the Green Anaconda that makes them a little different. The fact that the biggest ones live in the inhospitable floating forests of the central Brazilian Amazon makes you wonder what the largest ones can grown too.
I've been a herpetology & reptile hobbyist for 30 years but I've never seen an authentic 30 foot snake. If there was going to be one it would most definitely be a retic, but I'm extremely doubtful. Perhaps at one point in time when the jungles were far more fast and pret sources more plentiful. Maybe.
Somebody really got into snakes recently
They are beautiful animals and should be left alone.
Yes, retics are man eaters. But man also eat retics.
16:08 for a non portuguese speaker, thats close enough :V
Thanks. Sorry I didn't get it right.
@@wildworld6264 dont worry man, great video btw :V
The magical 10 meter snake, that probably doesn't exist.
Thanks for proper nature videos.
Thanks
Growing up in Florida in the 1960s I remember reading an article about a boa constrictor that killed its owner by strangulation while he was handling it. I don't recall the snake as being very large, but it would not have to be with those powerful muscles.
Yup, well said. Humans, the most prolific killers of ALL time... & it's not even close.😔
Great Vid.👍🏻💚🐍🌏
Zero sympathy for idiots who get killed by their exotic, wild animal pets. Literally zero. Anyone else?
The sharks are apparently learning that human beings are a potential food source as we continue invading their environments. What’s to stop pythons from learning the same things?
But they're safe for a child to have as a pet. One would never attack a child.
That's sarcasm right?
@@AuntieMamies Noooo! 😄
Medusa was measured by 1. Guinness, 2. Kansas City Zoo staff, and by someone that one of our local channels brought in to measure her. I don't remember which channel. I also can't remember if the Zoo or Guinness measured her first. But I have seen her personally on several occasions she is HUGE, but it has been awhile, I have aged out of going to the haunted house attractions every year.
You really like saying hunter gatherers 😂
The Cambodians consider python meat delicious they call it jungle chicken.
I _love_ Retics! ... Such beautiful and magnificent snakes...
There's only a few animals in the world which kills for the heck of it, and only one that does it just for laughs.
I hate snakes because they are too spiteful and dangerous, this is why I do tell people not to go anywhere and also jump into waters and don't know what lies beneath.
Oh yeah when I see snakes all I think about is boots and belts 😮😮😮😮
We must taste nice, can’t blame them
The narrator sounds lazy😂
Historically there were snakes that far exceeded these giants. SO technically larger sizes than quoted are indeed possible
Were these snakes of the same species?
Fantastic channel! You are very good at presenting evidence. I would love a vid on Big Cats in the UK 😬
Great suggestion!
That was awesome. Well done!
from an actual reptile enthusiast.
Here in Malaysia these guys pop up in urban areas quite frequently,just last year one was caught in the drain opposite my house and another in front of my grandmother's house a few weeks later, fortunately these were small to moderate sized individuals.
Also 7:48, i remember that one, it was all over the papers and the gruesome picture of the python with the victim in it's mouth circulated for weeks, you can probably still find some of them if you look online.
I always wondered what it'd be like living so close to wild animals. I live in Florida & we have everything here but large cats & large bears. But if you live near civilization its pretty rare you'll see one unless you live on a body of water.
@@richardmorris7063 Well it's a consequence of rapid urbanization which has driven ever increasing numbers of wildlife into our domain, here where I'm at we for the most part receive visitors of the avian and reptilian variety.
The longest reticulated python on record was around 33 foot long and was captured in 1912 ..... however indonesian villagers claim to have caught a 49 foot reticulated python in another case .... who is gonna stand a chance of survival against reptilian beasts that long??
The 46 foot snake was finally found and measured to be under 30 feet but certainly more than 20 feet. Anyway, a python over 6 or 7 meters will certainly be able to swallow an average height adult period!
I love my adopted lil Sister, a reticulated python named Olivia. She's my everything!
How does a massive snake end up approaching and ultimately capture a human in its grasp? Does it require the person to be laying down or asleep or injured? Just curious how it would initially trap the human.
Just needs to bite and/or get a good loop around the neck or ribs, and constrict to suffocate the victim. Certainly easy if human asleep. One person is not strong enough to pull them off once wrapped around them. Person suffocates within minutes. Each time they breathe out, the snake constricts further, preventing air being breathed back in. They can launch unexpectedly for several meters, if big one. A moments inattention or inexperience or just bad luck is all thats needed. Sometimes a person may be handling one that is usually 'tame' and it just decides to constrict.
They're ambush predators and despite their size they're excellent at hiding and climbing. They strike at movement and heat once the prey is in range.
As long as you're close enough to get bitten it's really no game of power next. The jungle are really not quiet so I can picture someone not realizing how close they had come in contact especially in the dark
Theres a video on RUclips of a python sneaking up on a mom and child in a hammock. The mom gets up and starts rocking the baby for a min before she even notices the snek. Then she freaks, grabs the kid n bolts. But they're silent. You'd never know there's one right next to u unless u see it. I had a ball python that was sneaky enough to get loose 2x in a few years. I'd wake up in the middle of the night and she'd be stretched out the length of my body then some. If she wrapped herself around my neck when I was sleeping, I like to think I could have gotten her off me, but I've never really had that problem.
Palm oil production is just awful. I know people have to make a living, but it’s not a reasonable use of land and other resources.
Always happy to see one of your videos
Glad to hear it
Don't forget a woman checking on her corn about two years ago was eaten by a python and they cut her out
Video is on RUclips.
actually it happened 3 times,a man in 2017 got eaten,a woman in 2018 got eaten,and another woman in 2022 got eaten
@@shelbyrice1014 yeah I know but I only saw the video of the one lady being cut out. I forget her name though... RIP
@@Msrandumb 2017 it was Abkar Salubiro,2018 it was Wa Tiba,and 2022 it was Jarah
Their the same as Crocodiles the older they get the bigger they get all reptiles are pretty much the same just eat eat eat anything they catch
It's interesting that there are some confirmed accounts of pythons eating people. I always thought that they wouldn't be able to get their jaws over a person's shoulders, unless they were really small.
Snakes always start swallowing from the head, so when it gets to the larger parts of quadrupeds the legs kind of collapse down the size. Bipeds are built differently and it is a huge jump in size from head/neck to shoulders (which really don't collapse much unlike with a deer's limbs, for example). It's interesting (albeit in a sort of morbid way) to learn I was wrong and that they can do it
How about featuring people that eats phyton?😂
"The python escaped...!" As usual! LOL! They seem to always abscond after committing capital murder.

If anyone is still reading these comments, Fluffy was brought to my town as a kid I got to pet her and help hold her. She was pretty chill.
I have a retic I've raised since she was 2 months old. She has an entire bedroom to herself. She is a total sweetheart. But still you gotta know how to handle her so she doesn't get around your neck and accidentally kill you 😂
THEY DON’T ACCIDENTALLY KILL YOU THEY MEAN IT !!!!,
you make it sound like they're movie monsters ffs.@@freddog4490
Keeping a large snake around children seems irresponsible. I love snakes, absolutely! But youd have to make sure the snake was well fed and at least two closed doors away from sleeping children. Considering the risk, its just not worth it.
When it comes to animals that are far less dangerous than movies portray them, many people think of sharks, but I think of giant snakes. As stated, only reticulated pythons have eaten people, and almost all were wild animals. No pet giant snake has killed their owners (for the most part, as there was the story reported in the video and there was that baby that was killed by an abused burmese python). My math teacher in 6 grade owned two Burmese pythons, and neither one ever harmed a person. Still, while they’re tame they could kill you if they wanted to and it’s best to respect that. Never handle a snake over 10-12 feet by yourself, as anything goes.
Thats not true that only Retics have eaten humans,Rock pythons have as well
There have been multiple cases of snakes killing their owners
Yeah I've heard lots of stories of snakes killing babies and shit
It escapes me why anyone would want a snake for a “pet”. Why? This is why we have a python problem in Florida and before long throughout the SE US. I can’t help but wonder how long before some idiot releases his “pet” black mamba into the wild.
Behave. Domestic dogs kill more people than pythons and snakes ingeneral. I have been breeding ball, childrens, burmise , reticulated and Rock pythons for nearly 25 years now. Even the big (freak) pythons would struggle with a grown man. Most accidents happen when eggs or food source is present. I have more accidents with my Bally Pythons than with the big guys , same with venomous snakes ( i handled gaboons, rihnhos puffs and a gabinho (how lucky am I ) . The reason I have been bitten by my ball pythons is beacuse I dont really respect the danger I will blindly put my hand in to tubs or hides as the bit is nearly painless. With the big guys and the venomous snakes I have more RESPECT. I studied strike behaviours and the reasons why these people killed dont show respect after all you wouldnt want to handle a great white shark without knowing the risks snakes are the same. That said please avoid tree pythons or blood pythons they are just nasty animals who dont ike humans and the bites really sting 🤣
Humanity, will destroy every living creature on this planet. We are doing a great job of it now, our job is to look after all the wild creatures
i have pythons regularly in my garden and two days ago it was in my kitchen, even though we had music playing and there were multiple people cooking. seems like it does not care. i would estimate it to be about 3.5m, im a but worried, also because i have three dogs that are sleeping everywhere.
last night an elderly woman was attacked by a 4m python not too far of where i live. luckily neighbours heard her screaming for help and she was saved
In benton Co Arkansas we got checks 17 7 head 27 long 13 16 around 9.5 neck 10oz eyes and lose he is blk python coolest stake ever known world class snake
Nicely produced RUclips video Doc.
Thank you KUTGWork
good video as always
Appreciate that
A snake that large isn't going to say here I am looking at me. Creatures that large became that large because they learned how to stay hidden and away from people in general
It is so good to see someone actually do proper research and get the facts correct about the retic for once !! you nailed it man great video. Great information. Well, done.!!!!👍🏻😎
I have a 2.5 year old female inland retic as a pet. Smart and majestic.....and of course....huge.
☕️☕️🥛🥛
i forgot this was an attacks video because the “how big” portion was so well done and interesting. great video
Yeah and you also have to really think about like those people where the retic lives are little you know they're like little Filipino Asian dudes probably 55 130lb
After seeing one of those whoppers in the flesh, i can easily believe theyre capable of taking down a human being. And if small enough, i imagine a human being could be swallowed by one.
They are huge animals.
The biggest thing that stood out to me when i first saw a full grown reticulated python was its head. I believe the one i saw had a sign on its enclosure that said it was around 21 feet. They are so big that you cant appreciate it until you see one.
They truly are beautiful snakes though.
I’ve just bought a pork fillet, when I got to the checkout I showed it to my wife saying I’ve bought a snake. She looked horrified as did the lady on the checkout 😂😂😂
😎😎😭😭😡😡
I live in Indonesia and I heard new news in August 2024 that an old woman was swallowed by a python.
The reticulated python is a superb animal, although scary to me Western European. However, a bag made in its skin is awful and bad taste. Let’s protect the animal…and avoid the bag.
The reticulated python holds the record for the longest snake ever recorded, with individuals reaching over 20 feet (6 meters) in length.
I'd like to point out that while anaconda's are often thought to be the largest snakes, it's reticulated pythons and Burmese pythons that take that title. For length the reticulated python comes out on top, and for overall size/weight the Burmese python is by far the largest. The only thing I see as outstanding when it comes to the size/weight of anaconda's is their length-to-weight ratio, they are incredibly heavy animals, especially for their length. Then again, it's important to remember that a lot of the reports which speak about the size of individual large snakes are difficult to prove, and are sometimes considered to be fact, when they might not be. For example, if you look up what the longest snake in the world is, you will get an answer of a reticulated python measured at 33 feet, however, if you dig deeper you will find that that measurement was taken of the reticulated python's shed, not its actual body. And what do you know, a snake's shed can be stretched about 30% longer than its actual body length. Now lets take off 30% of 33 and we come up with 23.1, a totally normal length for a retic, crazy, I know. If we remove all the false outliers who knows what the largest snake will really be.
Incorrect it depends on the individual. Anaconda are generally heavier & Pythons are generally longer. A lot of misinformation regarding the size/length/weight 😊
Green female anacondas are in average larger (girth) and way heavier than pythons. Reticulated pythons are in average longer but anacondas can reach up to twice the weight of any python species.
@@danle3181 The actual scientific proof is in contrast with your claim; at least in captivity the heaviest snakes have also been pythons (burmese & reticulated), not anacondas.
@@askoholli9306 Captivity is not the wild. You can't compare.
I'm telling you that these Anacondas are around the 30 ft mark , but let's not get it twisted now let the animals live in their environment and we need to do the right thing and if you're not ready ooh , be ready so you don't need to get ready to be infront of a huge snake is not our place where we really should be unless you're doing good things to help the planet and the environment that snakes and other animals that can eat you alive so unless you have the experience don't go and pet a snake or whatever it is you come across in their back garden frfr yo'h respect the land and the land will respect you back be ov vigilant and never get got slippin !!! Recognize the truth ,

These men that make exaggerated claims about snake size must have very disappointed wives and girlfriends when they first consumate their relationships.
