This is amazing. A python nearly 50 ft long and almost 990lbs (its girth is almost 2.8ft) has been captured and confirmed.

According to The Guinness Book of World Records the previous longest ever captured snake was 32 feet long. The heaviest a Burmese Python kept in Gurnee, Ill. weighs 402 pounds.

This new snake is almost twice as long, and over twice as heavy. That's HUGE! I can hardly imagine it.

Well, no need to have your pet spayed or neutered around that place now, is there?? Wink

Really interesting story though, my first guess would have been Anaconda but, yeah okay Reticulated Pythono goes a long long way I suppose, and we now have proof even!

Frangrant Flower though???
<shaking my head>

whatever works I suppose

Gravity is not an obstacle for snakes to become huge.

In the late seventies I had a pretty good sized boa for a pet named wormtongue and it was a pretty cool pet. I have no fear of snakes but I don't want to be in a cage with that guy........it would be impossible to survive an attack by that big mo...
