Question Who has pics of big afrocks?

I see pics of huge retics being handled by people all the time. Also burms and, lately, even anacondas (but less). But why is it that i almost never see photos of big captive rocks? In special being handled or with a good size reference?

I hope this thread breaks that tradition and i (we all) get to see some nice pics. Come on, post them if you have them.

Here's another. A big afrock killed (no surprise) in Nairobi.
So what's the deal? Nobody else has a pic or 2?

Sorry for the late post, new to the forum. Anyways, here is my biggest AfRock, he's around 10ft or so. Really docile. I have 2 other afrocks, too, but there not as big.

Hope you like
Sean
