Harry Pristis Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Estimating size from a few vertebrae and fragmented ribs is very tricky business. I'm sure they used the best model available, which would be modern. Still, body-form is variable among even modern boids; and, a 42-foot, 2,800-pound snake strains credulity. Let's see how this paper, if and when it's published, withstands peer review. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreekCrawler Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 What?! Why (if I may be so bold as to ask)? Well ,I have been keeping serpents for a very long time now. I used to be able to pay for the herp-hobby with the proceeds from the sale of the babies that I produced. Times have changed and cal king babies go for $15 each at the wholesalers.And mice are way more expensive etc;. I also house them in one of my spare bedrooms in my house."I'd like to have my room back"! . Also, I can't tell you how many chicks give you the cold shoulder when you tell them that you have a room full of snakes!!!!! LOL Don't worry I'm keeping Speed Bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Reading between the lines there, one consideration sort of leaps out... Decision-making 101...lessee, babes or snakes, babes or snakes... Snakes are cheaper...but let's go with BABES. Is that pretty much what we're seein' here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakes are cheaper...but let's go with BABES. Is that pretty much what we're seein' here? A perhaps not-too-peripheral consideration: babes are soft and warm and smell nice.
