I reread the chapter and it was a 19 foot reticulated python. They forced fed it for 20 years and it was a mixture of ground rabbit and horsemeat (although I'm sure a chicken or two proabaly made it into the mix as well) about 13 pounds at a feeding. he didn't say how often the fed it. They had crowds of up to 3000 people watching the feedings at times. After one such feeding Marlin recalled a conversation between zoo patrons looking at the snake in its enclosure "Man, thats one big snake right there" the first one said. "that's not a real snake" the second one said "I just saw them blowing it up a little while ago"
