Yes, I know this won’t be an interesting subject for some
people and it’s kind of scary to see the records of these being broken.
Malaysian construction site workers caught a python allegedly said to be 26
feet long(BBC), world’s largest snake record was kept by a snake called medusa (captivity)
25.2 feet is being taking care by snake handler Larry Edgar. Medusa is just 8
years old.

Both pythons come from the same species called Python
reticulatus (reticulated python) native to south East Asia. These snakes eat
small mammals and birds for their survival (little relief isn’t it). And the
news says this python did not survive the captivity process, it has given birth
to one egg before the death likely to the captivity stress.

So even though this snake has broken or not the record of
medusa, medusa still can hold it record for a while till another wild creature
like this appears, as all these measurements and records for them who have met
with a human and could not escape. There may be bigger snakes in forests still
the man couldn’t find, good for them.
