Based on the diameter( by the way the model is much larger than the 30 inch they say the actual snake was) and the length of the model, 2,500 lbs would be a little on the light side. My calculation would put the weight at more than 4,600 lbs. Do the math people. Kent Shelton Ariz I just saw the model last week in the museum of Natural History.

She is amazing. Being a reptile hobbies t at the moment, it was quite intense to imagine seeing a snake just that big. Hey Just curious... Will TitanoBoa's recreation ever come visit Chicago, Illinois?? I bet that the Field Museum, or the Museum of Science and Industry would LOVE to have a visit from her!! As would I!

The world is full of cool mysteries like THE ICE GORILLA, cool new sci fi book that I'm hoping will get the greenlight and go into production to become a movie. Hooray for THE ICE GORILLA and Titanoboa. The Titanoboa must have been an amazing sight.
