I hate snakes... http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/11/21/1037697814559.html Boys claim friend eaten by snake November 22 2002 A young South African boy is missing, his friends say he was swallowed by an African rock python, and a snake expert says he believes them. "I've dealt with a few cases like this and I always dispel them as absolute rubbish. But in my opinion this one did happen," snake park owner Craig Smith told AFP yesterday. He said a group of boys, aged between five and eight, were playing in a mango plantation in the eastern harbour city of Durban at the weekend. One of the boys later ran home and told his mother his friend had been eaten by a snake. "Normally, in these cases, I ask people a couple of basic questions like how the snake moved and then it becomes clear they are talking nonsense," Smith said. "But the way the snake was described by the child, the way he said the snake moved, the way he said the snake grabbed the child, there is a very good likelihood it did occur." Smith said there was evidence that a snake, between 5 and 6 metres long, had been in the area where the boy said the incident occurred. "There was a big flattened area, a flattened grass path, and snake tracks down by the (nearby) river. In my opinion, with 26 years of experience with reptiles, this did happen." There has been no sign of the snake since the alleged incident on Sunday. Smith said they were still trying to track down the mother of the missing child, adding that a missing persons report had "definitely been filed" despite police reports to the contrary. African rock pythons occur in sub-Saharan Africa, can grow up to 8.5 metres long and usually feed on monkeys, pigs, deer, small apes and birds. Smith said it was extremely unusual for African rock pythons, which are common in the Durban area, to eat people, but added: "In this case, maybe it was very hungry coming out of winter. They are opportunistic eaters. They eat any warm-blooded animal." AFP
I saw a series of pics of a grown man in South America found in the belly of a python, shoes and all! Amazing and tragic, but it can happen.
If you lay three Yao Ming's down together (head to toe) on the floor, they wouldn't add up to 8.5 meters. That's one big damn snake.
Rudy would never go for it. 'Cause yadda-yadda blah-blah Yao doesn't get enough minutes. Hey, now there's a thread idea!
Anybody seen the book Prehistory of the Far Side? It has all of Gary Larson's cartoons that didn't get published for one reason or another. Well, there's this one cartoon that shows a snake inside a baby's crib, and it can't get out because there is a huge lump in the middle of the snake that is too wide to fit though the bars of the crib...wonder why it didn't get published?

<blockquote><hr>Originally posted by Chance I got eaten by a snake once... <hr></blockquote> Ahhh....tempted by Eve, that snake.
No its real. Thats the pics I was talking about. It happened in Venezuela I believe. A guy was working in the jungle and ran into a bungle...in the jungle.
mr_oily, click the link to Bob*s article. snopes clearly says that is Urban Legend and gives reason. btw: snopes is rarely if ever wrong. And they always correct themselves when provided with more info. They'll error on the side of saying it is "Undetermined" way before they'll say something is "False." They give strong reason to believe those photos are fake.
