Pythons

@brotherbear :

About #57: at equal length you can notice the anaconda is the heaviest, and this not by a few:

Thus, at equal length, the anaconda will have a greater chest girth, since he is the greatest.

Absolute recorded biggest snake: The longest anaconda measured 8m28, weighed 227 kilos with a chest girth of 1m12:

At concerns the python and their chest girths figures are lacking, but we can consider the difference with the anaconda is noticeable. Hard to find a python outweighing 100 kilos:

In the french wikipedia version, as concerns the reticulate python, a maximum weight of 140 kilos (second line of "description" paragraph) is recorded:

Small rule of three: if an 227 kilos anaconda has a 112 centimeter chest girth, a 140 kilos python would have a chest girth equal to: 69 centimeters. Come on 70 centimeters !

What do you think about ? I consider that python and anaconda have the same density in relation to the water. (They are made the same). Thus I apply this rule of three. Reply
