    Hehe, a Burmese Python 30 feet? A female Burm is lucky to hit 18. Retic Python maybe?

    Did you see a site that said so? I'd like to see a link if so.

    Baby is the LARGEST not longest. i have gone and seen him/her. It is massive quite cool to see. the place where they keep him they also have a lot of albino herps. albino iguannas, albino crocodile/alagator(sp?)(i dont remember what it was it was last summer that i gone and seen the exhibit its really cool, go if you have the chance, costs like $7 to get in thow n the tour only takes about 10min tops but you get to roam around when they're done talking.

    ya, i was really disappointed with them today...we went to the mills today and we stopped in to see if they got anything new...and the new things they were about to have were dead animals...almost every single water dish was bone dry, had sand in it and what not...the albino rtb they had(thats missing an eye and blind in the other) had a piece of poop and a blob of fur sitting in the corner, it looked like it had been sitting there for a looong time, and usually it seems like they take better care of their animals, but today was just bad
