OK punters, here is Terry's money shot. This is my one and only encounter with a king cobra. This photo was taken on Koh Phangan in 1989 and its a 4.5 meter monster. Check the tracks from a D 9 doser for scale. Photos talk and bullshit walks so show us your photos of big snakes and bullshit stories need not apply.

next you picked it up by its tail whilst yelling 'crikey'?

dirtydog · 13-11-2007, 11:03 PM

Did you ever see that old whickers world show from the 60s, this Aussie guy used to catch these great big snakes by the tail, he would then swing them slowly back and forth, then he would crack them like a whip, the snakes head would fly off, it was great

don't suppose it is politically correct anymore to do that sort of thing though, foking brilliant way for killing the bstard things though

Happyman · 13-11-2007, 11:32 PM

The whip cracking technique is used for all snakes - Totally out of order as most are harmless tree snakes etc - just leave them alone and they will piss off ! Snakes like humans about as much as humans like snakes!!!!

He has lots of teeth, is that normal where you come from

MeMock · 14-11-2007, 01:29 AM

I think he was just warning the snake not to try anything.

It is widely known that I got all the good looks in the family

Jet Gorgon · 14-11-2007, 02:40 AM

^ What kind of snake is your friend holding, MM?

terry57 · 14-11-2007, 05:15 AM

The snake with the wallaby is a burster and the one with that dude is a bottler.

Excuse me Mecock,

Whats the chances of getting your brother off to the dentist. ?

He near on scared that snake half to death I'd say.

MeMock · 14-11-2007, 05:30 AM

Jet, I think it is just a python.

Burmese Python I think.

cimboc · 15-11-2007, 12:48 PM

Don't have any pictures but the other day we took a real clown to hospital after being bitten atleast 3 times on the wrists while trying to catch a venomous brown snake. Problem was he was well boozed and I think he thought his reflexes were faster then they actually were...funny how grog does that to ya

He survived but was bloody crook at the time
