When Australian python, named Atomic Betty reached a weight of approaching 135kg her zoo keepers began to get worried, she was gaining weight too fast so they needed to watch what she was eating and when she was eating it.
now the keepers at the Australian reptile park in Gosford, has put here on a diet limiting her to only three to four goats a year!
Betty usually swallows a goat in or about 1 hour though it takes one week to fully digest.
Betty was imported to the zoo at about 2001 from the US, and is now believed to be the biggest snake in the whole of Australia.
Despite measuring around 22ft Betty has still not reached her full length and has still around about 7 years to grow sevrel feet!
