Default Titanoboa meets the Mondo Spider - 11-17-2011, 08:30 | posts: 6,352

That's just creepy real looking. Titanoboa is a reincarnation of the ancient 50ft long serpent rendered extinct by past climate change. It was built at eatART in East Vancouver BC Canada.

That's either really awesome or really scary. How long before they become self aware?

Also, I want that spider vehicle.

I guess I was expecting a 50 ft. snake and that's not what I got.

+1 for wanting the spider though.

To hell with the scooter from the Scooterstore or the Hoveround or the Powerchair! Give me both and I'll take the snake for a slither through town.
