#BIGGEST ANACONDA SKIN#

However, unlike Medusa, the unnamed animal was never kept alive in captivity.

In 1912, a specimen shot in Sulawesi measured a jaw-dropping 10 m (32 ft 10 in). Reticulated pythons primarily populate southeast Asia, Indonesia, and the Philippines and are also known as great swimmers. Medusa herself weighs 158.8 kg (350 lbs). SheвЂ™s been known to eat a whole, 18-kg (40-lb) deer in one sitting. The 10-year-old snake required 15 men to hold her at full length in order for her record measurement to be taken, and her diet consists of a combination of rabbits, hogs, and deer served biweekly.

Reticulated pythons вЂ“ named as such because of the grid-like pattern of its skin вЂ“ are on average the worldвЂ™s longest snakes, but adults normally grow an average of between 3-6 m (or, 10-20 ft).Д«ut there is nothing normal about Medusa. Medusa, a reticulated python, clocked in at 7.67 meters (25 feet, 2 inches) long in its official world record measurement, on October 12, 2011. ItвЂ™s the longest snake ever in captivity. ThatвЂ™s because the Medusa you find at the cityвЂ™s Full Moon Productions isnвЂ™t some mythological figure of yore. In Kansas City, Missouri, USA, those who look directly at Medusa may not do that вЂ“ but they certainly come to a stone cold stop. Medusa also holds the current 'Longest Snake - Living (captivity)' title. When measured on 12 October 2011, she was found to be 7.67 meters (25 ft 2 in) long. The longest snake - ever (captivity) is Medusa, a reticulated python (python reticulatus), and is owned by Full Moon Productions Inc.
