→Eating People: how about this for a compromise |

Line 38:
As far as those images you linked, they were debunked on snopes. [http://www.snopes.com/horrors/animals/anaconda.htm] In my opinion, the evidence usually tends towards snakes not eating people, however, as people tend to believe that they do, such rumors are widely propagated. Although I don't deny that an exceptionally large Reticulated Python is physically capable of eating a human (and much smaller snakes are capable, physically of eating a child), in practice they don't. My belief is that at some point, someone somewhere has probably been eaten by a snake, however I've never seen what I would consider to be good, factual coverage of such an incident. Although there may be 'documented cases', again, I doubt whether the sources the author was citing were reliable.[[User:69.92.141.242|69.92.141.242]] 04:10, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
* How about something like this for a comment:
"This species of snake is one of the few that have documented, but not verified, cases of eating people. Given the size it grows to, it is possible, although likely exceedingly rare."
Oh, and good job on the snopes reference. I was sceptical, but hey it's late and I get up early. :) [[User:Wikibofh|Wikibofh]] 04:19, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
