Doddie here: 
 Who care's what Nagini weighs...Voldemort has little human left in 
him and I suppose he can enchant Nagini to weigh less even if only 
to him..

And come on now Steve(not saying this to be disrespectful just a 
colloquialism my dad would say in quite a mellow manner when I made 
an error in sports or when by brother bought his straight failure 
report cards! LOL)--However, this is Potterverse...if Hermione can 
enchant that little beaded purse(not one comment about the 
weight...we do know that Hermione can stuff it in her sock however 
replete with Phinneas Nigelus' portrait, and a tent with the 
contents of a small apartment/flat among the heaviest of all I'm 
sure was ALL of hermione's books!)..why can't Voldy enchant Nagini 
in the same way...(sad and sick, yet true--may be even the reason 
why the increased growth of Nagini(she is not a purse..and I get it, 
but a living being who can digest and we do have Ron's commentary 
that he thought Hagrid got upon the wrong side of an engorgement 
charm as a child..in GOF, and I believe many of us were surprised 
with Ron's reaction to Hagrid being a giant.) So we cannot rule out 
Nagini being engorged..

And there have been reportings of Anaconda's and Pythons in real 
life eating humans whole (and not just the smaller natives each time 
either..but those they were guiding who never believed *snicker*)..

Nor are there Acromantulas in RL either..but there they 
are, "Hagrid's pets"..(if there are acromantulas..then why not some 
sort of magical snake? irregardless of enchantments Voldemort may do 
to said being?)

Doddie,
(who will not even delve into her pet sitting experience involving a 
monkey, coyote, 1/2 wolf, six trantula's, two pythons (120 lbs, 168 
lbs respectively, and one 207 lb boa, eight scorpions, two grey 
parrots, one cocktail...other than to say, "that damn monkey" by the 
end of the weekend I have to say the Parrots did try to warn me!" 
Felt like I was in a pilot of the new Monkey Shines series. After 
said weekend I was no longer a vegan, always keep keys in my pocket, 
and never pet sat again.)
