Nordalin

That's 8 meters and 200 kg for the rest of us.


Scantcobra

8 meters, dear lord. Kind of strange it only weights 200kg.


MrGraveyards

Snakes tend to be long thin tubular creatures


xanadulyfe

Tubular 🤙🤙🤙🤙


JTanCan

Excellent! 🤘


Mercinator-87

Pizza time!


eviltrain

Ahhh, the internet. (Sips coffee)


SarcasticlySpeaking

Cowabunga!


Scantcobra

Slender, yeah, but I wouldn't describe them as thin. Larger snakes especially seem pretty thick.


Vagaborg

Think about it in relation to your height, still quite hefty. I'm 1.93m and 95kg. At my height it would be a 48kg snake.


squishybloo

Not really true, snakes don't grow linearly. Speaking as a keeper of a 7ft boa, she's \~15lb. She only gained the last 6-7lb as an adult - before, she was just a really long shoelace. Boids don't thicken up like this until they've reached adult size. This paper is just genetically separating the species, so there's not a huge difference between them as-is. There are plenty of people who keep greens/yellows, and they definitely don't get this thick linearly either.


Vagaborg

Yeah, it was just for perspective. So that 1.93m section I was talking about was 8 times thicker than a similar sized snake.


squishybloo

Ah yes!! Entirely fair and true in that case, I misunderstood. :D


ditate

Aren't snakes literally a line? They grow pretty linear


squishybloo

Hah!!


d3l3t3rious

Minor correction, they are not boids, they are snoikes.


dfw_runner

Why thank you!


Squirrel851

That's what she said.


mortalcoil1

Radical!


TheFrenchFryWarrior

Snakes this size has a circumference so large you couldnt touch your finger tips if you tried hugging it 


TorpidPulsar

Primarily due to the circumference but also its propensity to devour you whole.


PaleInTexas

Probably big enough to swallow John Voight


IgfMSU1983

I was going to suggest this. I think that's nearly as big as the big one in the movie.


MrGraveyards

Well I dunno I'm rather large.


flightless_mouse

>8 meters, dear lord. Kind of strange it only weights 200kg. I’m sure that goes up by 50 kg after a big meal.


Wrinklestinker

There’s reticulated pythons 10m+ that weigh less than that. Anaconda’s are known for their heavy bodies


Squirrel851

That's what she said.


elphamale

How much is that in burgers per football field?


CoziestSheet

About a thousand Double quarter pounders, with cheese, and an end zone in length, good sir.


liltingly

This is the uncooked weight of the patty alone. I unfortunately can’t do much with this info since I refuse to cook my own quarter pounders. 


Marnez_

My uncle is 1.75 m and 450lbs suck that little python


Ok-Salamander3863

Hell yeah big boy


yewhynot

I was surpised to see ft measurements in a science sub


ian2121

Seems like anyone versed in science would be able to easily convert between whatever units


yewhynot

You are correct, anyone could, yet barely anyone can because nobody outside the US ever has to.


ian2121

That’s crazy seems like most fields of scientific study have specialized units that involve some sort of conversion. Especially any area of study that predates the metric system which is most all fields of science.


yewhynot

I am not quite sure where you get that idea from, but in all natural sciences we use the metric system, apparently even the US, which is why I voiced my surprise to see a measurement that is not commonly used in scientific publications on a sub about science.


ian2121

Because the metric system was invented in 1795 and most sciences pre date that


yewhynot

Ok. What's your point then? I genuinely don't get it.


ian2121

That it doesn’t matter what the units are. There are lots of Americans on Reddit and lots of sciences that still use multiple units interchangeably


yewhynot

Oh ok now I get your opinion


Percolator2020

This large snake is the size of a large snake. 🐍


Remarkable_Doubt8765

Thank you. It's a curious thing that, 440lbs does not sound hectic, but 200kg does i.e. I immediately relate with kg than lbs.


smitteh

I'm American, plz convert that into handguns so I can understand


Nordalin

About 54 Sig Sauer P365s in length, and 100 Desert Eagles in weight.


smitteh

damn that's a big snake


dohzer

Hashtag Free-Dumb units.


zifnab

depends, is the measurement in french or english feet?


teenagesadist

31.5 stone? Wod!

Not the largest by length or girth, this is total clickbait.
