This artist's rendering of Titanoboa cerrejonensis demonstrates the great snake's size. It is anticipated the boa spent much of its life in or near water. (Credit: Copyright Jason Bourque, University of Florida)

I would assume a 2500 Pound Snake spent its life anywhere it darn well pleased.

certainly gives a little extra thought as to why Eve decided to follow the “serpents” suggestion now doesnt’ it.

OK, let me be the first Poster to get this out of the way.

Is that a Titanoboa in your pocket or are you happy to see me?

You may continue...

Strangely believe it, I was Binging for the Cerrejon coal mine in Columbia and there was the reference to Titanoboa about which I had recently read on this thread.

The mine is for being really big and for Titanoboa cerrejonensis fossils

I am currently doing some work for a Canadian firm with a large contract at the Cerrejon mine.
