    Hey Almo
    Thought the herpitologist in you might be interested in this sad story of a Rock Python.

    I have those images on my computer ;) I still find it hard to believe from those images that it ate a FULL GROWN impala. I raised snakes from 8 inches to 20 feet and that snakes is only 10-12 feet at best. My 16 foot female burmese couldn't eat a 80 pound impala to easily, but I know my just shy of 20 foot(190- 200 pound) retic could have ;)

    Hey Pual,

    Just what is it that you do. You are not just a birder, but a snaker to boot!
    Cheers,

    If you follow the link to the game farm site there's a pic of the snake opened up to show the impala.

    I seen that too. I still think it's a very small impala, not an adult .

    As to what do I do, I'm a cashier, clerk and all around savior at shop rite ;) I had some pretty odd pets before I moved in with my GF 8 years ago :)
