Hey I came apon this email and it sounds a bit far feched to me.
15 foot Oos Kaap khakibos puffadder. Largest ever caught on record. After seeing this, a little research followed, and learned the following :
One bite from a snake this large contains enough venom to kill over 40 full grown men. The head alone is larger than the hand of a normal sized man.
This snake was probably alive when Hendrik Verwoed was Prime minister.
A bite from those fangs would equal being penetrated by two 1/4 inch screwdrivers.
A snake this size could easily swallow a 2 year-old child.
A snake this size has an approximately 5 1/2 foot accurate striking distance. (The distance for an average size Puffadder is about 2 feet) Judging by the size of the snake, it is estimated to weigh over 70 kg.
