Boa vs python

JimmyDavid · 08-16-04, 12:04 PM

Another dumb movie is about to be released: Boa vs. Python! I'm sure it will have lots of blood and gutts and little of truth about the snakes in question. I guess it could happen, though, because a friend of mine had a retic and rock python housed together that started to constrict each other (the rock broke the retics spine, for my surprise).

But since they brought it up, let's see some opinions. I say it wouldn't be much of a fight since i don't know any python with the constricting power of a boa of the same weight.
Do you think there's any kind of python with a chance on that(assuming equal weight on the snakes)?

Saw an add the other day for a movie about a killer anaconda...lol they say it's 50 feet long and ways well over 1000 lbs and move at like 25 feet a second... can't remember the numbers exactly...lol looks like a stupid movie

wasnt it 140 feet a second? LOL. I think its just more media crap on snakes. Sadly.

It's not "out to get snakes" or the media purposefully making these movies to give snakes a bad rap....now mind you it might turn out that way, but they aren't making the movie FOR that reason....do they make car chase movies to put bad attention on cars? Love stories about broken hearts to show how horrible the opposite sex is? No. It's just an exageration of reality to make an "exciting" movie. I mean really, what kind of movie would "5 foot ball pythons attack!" be? LOL

In either case, BLECH. I wouldn't watch any sort of movie with a "50 foot snake" in it for any reason. lol

its just a movie there not out to give bad names to snakes. movies aren't meant to be life like if you want life like go for the doctmentries. movies are made for intrest and people like to watch them you know how boring it would be if they made every movie life like and not have all the excitement of pythons fighting boas or andacondas bigger then what there really meant to be. theres more to a movie then anyone knows. movies are meant to be for fun and people enjoy watching. i think boa vs python will be a good movie to watch so would andaconda 2. movies are make believe there not meant to be real. why do you think there called movies.

Is right, Jaws proves this! One of the best movies ever made and totally based on exageration. Though, that movie was so good for it's time, that it DID give sharks a bad rap for the years to come. In 79 (I think) when it was released it dropped the tourist population by a HUGE amount in the costal states in the US (Florida and California). People were truly afraid to go in the water.
I love Horror flicks, even cheezy ones, so I plan on seeing them both.
As for giving snakes a bad rap, give me a break, they make the snakes out to be so fake and so fast that even a child watching would know that they cant move that fast.
The only people who give snakes a bad rap are the people who live in suburban neighborhoods and take their 14 foot whatevers outside for all the neighbors to see. Most suburbanite neighbors dont like to know that you keep that in yer house.

Hehe, why do you say no man can eat 50 eggs?

ib_inked · 08-23-04, 03:25 PM

It's from a movie called 'Cool Hand Luke'. If you haven't seen it you should. AWSOME!

I just saw Boa vs Python at the video store, and nothing seems so ridiculous!!!! A gigantic python is set free in a reserve and then the FBI decides to set another huge snake, a Boa this time, to beat it... WTF is that?!?! Those movies really gives bad information to the public ( which really believes that there are some 50 feet long snakes roaming around somewhere in the world... ) and makes herpers look like freaks!!! We should send a little box with a tic-tac sound to the guy who made the movie!!!

you all are not very good its a movie not a doctmentrie there not meant to be real. and for the bad information who cares its just a movie no need to get all uped about it movies are for fun not for learning. if you want to lean watch doctmentries movies are done by computer and actors. i think it will be a good movie to watch and i know its not real and i don't plan on it to be either. i loved to see all of you make a movie no one would watch it cause you all are too worked up on making everything look real. which will be boring. there making movies for enjoyment and to make them out rageous and make them bigger then what there really are. if they made movies life like no one would watch them i know i wouldn't.

so back to the topic, which would win, a boa or a python?

Darren179 · 08-31-04, 11:45 PM

um depends on to many factors to just say who would win plus the question is to open. If a retic was crusing by and ran over a kenyan sand boa you could say a boa would win but if an adult ETB was to attack a baby ball python it would win. Just examples all though these wouldnt happen do to location but I guess possible if somebody was dumb enough to put them together it could..

Diamondpython · 09-01-04, 07:43 AM

i would say boa they always have to make it a happy ending so with the python killed and the boa back into its cage or killed as well.

id have to disagree, i really dont think that snakes have a sense of achievement, because if they did have a sense of achievement, then they would be smart enough to have a sense of boredom, a sense of clostorphobia etc.... if its smart enough to feel that it has achieved something other than a meal, its smart enough for many other things.
