A snake that big is just, just FREAKY KLHJ2 02-04-2009, 04:39 PM 42 Feet huh...that is almost half the distance between bases. That's one hell of a lead off. saden1 02-04-2009, 05:55 PM Think of how many snake sushi rolls you can make out of that sucker. Hmmm, yummmy. I'm guessing it can ingest Shaq and still move.
