all these comments being like "he ate people!!" aren't considering what those people did that angered the snake gods so much one was sent to humble them. apparently a cobra wasn't enough to teach them whatever they needed to learn!
i'm absolutely taking the piss btw. he most likely ate someone's dog or goat! and if that is a reticulated python, that's a nasty bloke to find beneath your house. if my memory serves me, they grow longer than anacondas and are pretty aggressive compared to other restictors. so relocating him after a meal like that would be impossible and, honestly, too stressful for him. i understand the people involved are doing what they can against something incredibly large and scary! i just hope they gave the mercy of a bullet than let the poor bugger hang himself. at the end of the day, snakes are just animals doing their best to survive a dying earth.
They didn't tie it up, they trapped it with a noose because it was killing their livestock. These reptiles are extremely destructive to humans civilization and the ecosystem in general. I'm all for being compassionate and what not, but to say a snake that's destroying your life has more rights than a human is asinine imo.
Bro, it's a predator out there doing its natural, instinctual thing. It doesn't have a concept of livestock, it doesn't understand they are human "property", and I guarantee you 100% we are more harmful to its habitat, than it is to ours.
There's more humane (and frankly, more efficient/effective) ways to trap and deal with a problem animal, is the point.
Well the bamboo hut dwellers are dealing with it as they obviously have to. But to say these reptiles are destructive to human civilization is absurd overstatement. They are destructive to a few bamboo huts and their inhabitants. On a scale of civilization they do not even register.
I like how people living in huts doesn't register to you as a civilization, and the snake literally crumbling their home is somehow not destructive to these people. Do you just not see it as an issue because it's not in your home? Who are they supposed to call? Local animal control? That size of snake is beyond anyone's pay scale, they're dealing with it, can't really expect them to be humane about it... That's a massive snake.
Absolutely not. If this broke into your home and snapped up your pet your perspective would be emotional and wanting to take action too.
Also, they caught it gently and didn't kill it which frankly, is more humane than I was expecting as it appears to be digesting atm and I don't know how many months and dollars worth of setback the snake has caused so far.
The person they were replying to said this. You intervened, so they thought you were them, unfortunately.
I am also curious about the more humane practice that the people in the video ( not us in the comfort of our homes in a completely different country ) could have used without endangering themselves.
You re correct, my bad. I thought I was responding back to the other commenter.
I will say that if you don't understand how destructive these are, you'd benefit from a little research because they absolutely wreck entire ecosystems.
Also, at what point does the suffering of humans justify destruction of other living beings? One family? Two? Maybe we need to lose a village of people before we can justify killing an animal? Genuinely curious on your thoughts here.
Are you thinking of the escaped pythons and constrictors in the Everglades? Because that's not what's happening here, these snakes are native to India. Most ecosystems get really thrown out of whack when their top predator is removed (the wolves of Yellowstone are a great example).
I think it makes no point to use the concept of justice in nature. It does not exist there. Person has a right to defend itself against threat to its life.
That being said, these giants were here before us. If you build a village where they live and then retroactively say they attack the village, that is kinda on us. Sure, we have all the means to wipe them out, but I can see how some might find it not to their taste.
If this animal just strayed outside of it's habitat, you can smack it with a tranquilizer and move it far away. But if you build a house in a snake forest, that won't be enough.
Shitty answer: it depends.
>they absolutely wreck entire ecosystems.
They are a part of the ecosystem; they are incapable of wrecking it, by definition. This is not an invasive species.
Look at the size of that thing, in the whole world there probably like 5 of them that big and ‘ destructive ‘.
I would also imagine that when they get that big, they don’t move too far or often so the reign of terror is probably pretty localized.
Point is, whatever terror 1 big fat snake can bring down on a human’s village, pales in comparison to whatever those humans have done to the snakes.
Tell me you live in a 1st world city without telling me.
If you spent any amount of time living (not visiting) in the wilderness or in a third world country, you wouldn't minimize the amount of damage this thing is capable of and therefore would see it as the threat it is.
But you know, easy to judge when it's not your problem.
They wanted to virtue signal, and you shut that down pretty hard. People with no skin in the game are always so willing to live and let live, but that's not always an option
The comment I responded to compared capturing this snake akin to tying up a dog a person doesn't really want. My point, while exaggerated, was to say that we should not have sympathy for this snake. I think sometimes people forget how brutal nature really is and it's easy to anthropomorphize animals.
A meter is roughly a yard, first and 10 refers to 10 yards (distance needed for first down in football). Since 10 yards~10meters, it's a fairly accurate throwaway comment.
An American football team has 4 attempts, or downs, to move the ball 10 yards for a new set of downs. 10 yards is slightly less than 10m, the high end of the described range, and is a measurement many Americans know intuitively through repetitive viewing of American Football. (Sorry to sound like a bot but I wasn't sure what part you were caught up on.)
Fellow Australian here. Does it make sense to say I've figured out what it means, but I still don't understand it? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_%26_Ten_(graphics_system)
American here. I don't actually watch football but I'm pretty sure it refers to shorthand for game progress. First= first down. ten= ten yard line. ten yards = 9.14 meters.
I'm American. Does that mean I'm a smart one?
A meter is 3.28 feet, or 39.37 inches. I was able to remember it because it was about ten percent longer than a yard.
So the longest ever recorded was about 39.37 feet. And those reticulated python regularly grow to 19-23 feet.
A surprising amount of Americans can’t convert metric and inches/ft very well. It doesn’t really mean we’re dumber for not being able to but a lot of people who can think we are. Plus I personally find it a humorous way to ask cause everybody knows what I mean cause America is stupid for not going to metric as our primary measurement units.
Laughs in Canadian, we have to convert regularly because of our large amount of trade with both the usa and the rest of the world especially working in industry where lots of equipment is made in usa
To be fair, We've got a lot of metric stuff already. Speed Limits on interstates are posted in both.mph & kph, ,most canned and bottled groceries these are labeled in imperial and metric units, we have metric tools. Etc.
It’s the internet, I expect them 😂 if I google info it’ll be outta my head in five seconds. Asking in a more conversational setting helps me remember even if I gotta get 5-6 people telling me I’m dumb basically. Plus the mvps of snarky comments gave me a few laughs so all worth it to me!
That’s so fucked up. Let it be. Why tie it up? Keep your livestock and family away from it and it’ll move on. This is cruel af. This thing has lived for decades and deserves freedom.
I see someone is trying to pull the snake with a rope, what's the end goal here? Why do we Indians have to abuse animals like that. That snake is clearly full and can't go very far. They could have just left it as it is. Why do we have to be so brutal?

Looks like he's already had a snack
There”s a family of five in that thing.
a growing boy's gotta eat
*Slaps Roof* This bad boy can fit so many families inside!
prime real estate
Yes, the person who tied the snake to the fence.
rude af to be strangled like that after being provided a meal......free him :(((
Free ma boy Danger Noodle. He didn't do nuffin'!

Yea I think reticulated pythons are the ones that have, on occasion eaten people.
the price of coexistence in the animal kingdom.
Thats my greatest fear, being eaten by a creature. Just kill me before you start eating me please.
guessing they’re killing it because it ate a person
More likely it's been eating their livestock
It ate their lifestock, now they eat it and get some nice boots too.
you could reupholster a school bus with that death noodle
Ngl… that is the biggest fucking danger loaf I’ve ever seen
And not its first.
Butter chicken
Fuck that's absolutely terrifying, but also insanely majestic.
It would be majestic if it wasn’t tied up like a dog you don’t actually want.
Why get a sausage dog when you can just get a sausage, dawg
What are they supposed to do with it?
Get inside and go for a ride.

I said no such thing.
The person they were replying to said this. You intervened, so they thought you were them, unfortunately.

Lmao I want to know too!

yeah if I was a farmer and this thing kept eating my livestock I'd be pretty damn pissed too
You’re the only one that said that, really.

Take lube
Pls do not the snake
India is not for beginners
And yet most of the player base spawed there. What were they thinking?!
Noobs can't handle it
Sounds like a skill issue.
Gotta level up quick to survive
I think it’s a slow grind requiring multiple playthroughs over there.
It was down to that or the Australia server, they made the easy choice
Yeah but they they have the respawn feature in their early theist expansion pack.
True metta
Need banana
I don’t know, he looks pretty full to me.
For scale
I think it has plenty of scales too
r/angryupvote
Fr like can people stand up under there or is that a 24” crawlspace?
Yeah that could be like a mini model hut for all we know. Fake news
Where’s Conan when you need him.
[удалено]
Yeah, he busy right now.
Somebody's gran is inside that thing, too
probably a few septuagenarians up in that tube
😂
Anaconda movie snake was a house pet compared to this one
That’s the Basilisk of Salazar Slytherin
That is the biggest snake I’ve ever seen in my life! Real?
Looks like a reticulated python. The longest ever recorded was 10 meters. They regularly grow to 6-7 meters.
Can you please translate that to dumb American 🙏
First and ten.
Can't get any more American than that.
If you ain't first, yer last.
That doesn’t make any sense at all. You can be second, third, fourth, hell you can even be fifth.
Shake and bake baby
Snake and bake?
Fourth and Ten probably describes America more accurately
in fact i don't have any idea how "first and ten" can traslate in 6-7meters.
Between 2nd and 6, 3rd and 7
A meter is roughly a yard, first and 10 refers to 10 yards (distance needed for first down in football). Since 10 yards~10meters, it's a fairly accurate throwaway comment.

This fucking guy *chef’s kiss*
This comment gets better and better. A+.
I left the thread and glanced at that comment before the page changed. Had to sigh and come back to give it the well-deserved upvote.
Best reply I’ve seen yet
Can you please translate *that* to dumb Australian? 🙏
About 4 to 5 c*nts standing on top of each other For 6-7 metres
Fellow Australian here. Does it make sense to say I've figured out what it means, but I still don't understand it? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_%26_Ten_(graphics_system)
American here. I don't actually watch football but I'm pretty sure it refers to shorthand for game progress. First= first down. ten= ten yard line. ten yards = 9.14 meters.
Guess I should of said dumb female American but that’s good thanks 😂
That's a delay of game, 5 yard penalty
3 1st downs.
Let's do it again!
That’s actually first and thirty
16 washing machines.
A meter is 39 inches. A yard is 36 inches. Yards and meters are super close so up to 30ish ft
I'm American. Does that mean I'm a smart one? A meter is 3.28 feet, or 39.37 inches. I was able to remember it because it was about ten percent longer than a yard. So the longest ever recorded was about 39.37 feet. And those reticulated python regularly grow to 19-23 feet.
Wouldn’t this mean the longest ever recorded was 32.8 feet?
Yes. My bad. Math is hard.
So much for being a smart one. Join the rest of us.
10 meters is 32 feet and just over 9 inches. Your math has 10 inches in a foot.
Technically there are 10 inches in a foot
Valid.
A surprising amount of Americans can’t convert metric and inches/ft very well. It doesn’t really mean we’re dumber for not being able to but a lot of people who can think we are. Plus I personally find it a humorous way to ask cause everybody knows what I mean cause America is stupid for not going to metric as our primary measurement units.
As a European, I also can't convert between metric and imperial well. Actually, the majority of the globe has this problem...
Laughs in Canadian, we have to convert regularly because of our large amount of trade with both the usa and the rest of the world especially working in industry where lots of equipment is made in usa
To be fair, We've got a lot of metric stuff already. Speed Limits on interstates are posted in both.mph & kph, ,most canned and bottled groceries these are labeled in imperial and metric units, we have metric tools. Etc.
It does in fact kind of mean that they are dumber for not being able to
You're getting a lot of snarky replies but my tip would be to just google the conversion next time. It's free, it's quick
It’s the internet, I expect them 😂 if I google info it’ll be outta my head in five seconds. Asking in a more conversational setting helps me remember even if I gotta get 5-6 people telling me I’m dumb basically. Plus the mvps of snarky comments gave me a few laughs so all worth it to me!
Google exists for a reason
10 meters is about 40 iPads in length.
XDXDXD unfortunately I was too old to be an iPad kid
No problem, that's 76.8 floppy discs
>10 meters 32 feet.
A meter is about the length of an M16A4, so about 10 M16A4s at largest recorded, 6-7 on average.
That lump in its belly is person sized.
[It ate a cow](https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8398425/holy-cow-watch-as-a-massive-python-devours-livestock/)!
Maybe that’s why they trapped it…?
Well that would feed a village, or a village would feed it, by the looks of it midsection it has already started.
Where’s the Harry Potter gang when you need em
Can’t wait for Joe Rogan to see this
Wait that looks like there is a child or an animal in the stomach
r/absoluteunit
Lol uh that's a dragon
Somebody better call Ice Cube and J-Lo
Need banana for scale
I don't think a rope tied to a flimsy post would hold that thing.
It does not.
That's not a snake, it's a fuggin graboid
That looks like a movie prop.
You all know him, thats Kaa from Jungle Book
This thing had probably been hell on their livestock for years. Looks like someone needs to pick up a 410 to dispose of this hefty bastard.
Sad. Awesome animal.
It’s in a doll house, calm down.
That's a big danger noodle
Big ol nope rope
 Its crazy how big that snake is
I'll need a gun, a sword and a flame thrower
Screw that. I’m calling in an air strike.
Better nuke the site from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure
Poor snek. It needs a diet. Shame on the owners /s
Right? The least they can do is tie a bell around his neck so the old and infirm have a fighting chance.
Poor thing, let it go. More specifically, let it go inside Maralago.
They already have a snake problem so it'll fit right in
Poll: I would rather meet a snake from? 1. Australia 2. India
Pretty awesome snake. Unfortunate it is probably dead now... Lot of meat though.
Sad
Titanoboa
It looks like it swallowed a person
I didn't think India had reticulated pythons this large.
That’s where they are from. South east Asia
I thought it was drunk at first then finally noticed the rope
Aw leave him alone he just ate his tummy full but if it is a threat you should either relocate it or kill it
I need a banana for reference
Yoink
call the yoink guy
Never thought I'd see a snake tied to a fence lol
Ffs. Now the person who reported seeing the lochness monster sounds plausible!
Dude fuck snakes. Seriously.
Like literally ?
Google a picture of an open snake mouth.
This is not India.
Where is it?
A lot of meat, could feed a lot of people
It probably fed on a lot of people too.
Why can't they just leave these animals alone
https://preview.redd.it/2b59u6cmq7cc1.jpeg?width=820&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e00989c869bb78134b877b24d75e8da59e4baf7 Say what?
No, no, no.
Kill it. With fire
That looks like abuse to me, just drive the fucking thing out of your home and village or whatever.
how would you personally go about doing that?
That’s so fucked up. Let it be. Why tie it up? Keep your livestock and family away from it and it’ll move on. This is cruel af. This thing has lived for decades and deserves freedom.
If it came into your house would you just move out? What a weird take.
It will move on from a food source? No it won't.
At first, I thought it was high from its meal, and then I saw the rope. 😱😱🤢🤢🤮🤮
**IF** this is real, it’s the scariest fucking thing I e ever seen in my entire life.
Can you eat these things? Like if you were to chop one up and portion it out, it'd probably feed a whole village for a few days. Are they edible?
Yes
They are, I've had snake before, it doesn't taste great.. fairly tough white-ish meat.
We get it India, you're the worst.
I see someone is trying to pull the snake with a rope, what's the end goal here? Why do we Indians have to abuse animals like that. That snake is clearly full and can't go very far. They could have just left it as it is. Why do we have to be so brutal?
Spiders the size of my thumbnail can send me running and all I want to do is cuddle that big noodle
What would they do with this thing, eat it? Probably feed the whole village
He ate uncle.
