The Guinness Book of World Records lists the longest ever captured snake to be 9.75m and the heaviest to be 182 kg so if confirmed, this python would be the biggest snake ever kept in captivity. Reticulated pythons are the longest snakes in the world and can eat animals as big as sheep.
Claims of snakes larger than this in the wild are unofficial : a python caught in Indonesia in 2004 was reported to be 15 meters (over 49 feet), weighing 450 kg (990 lb). Although the <i>anaconda</i> is a thicker, heavier snake, some pythons are the world's longest snakes. The reticulated python of Southeast Asia has an average length of up to 4 to 6 meters (13 to 21 feet), the largest measuring 9.7 meters (nearly 32 feet).
