Terror and Shock: The World’s Largest Snakes Ever
Published by Snakes are scary creatures. Have you ever seen some of the world’s largest snakes? They are not only longer in size but also heavier in weight.
An Indonesian caught a 14.85m long Python weighing 447kg. Up to now, this python is regarded as the world’s largest snake. It was captured in the jungle of the western part of Sumatra Island. The owner of the snake later sold this snake to a park and the staff at the park gave it a name as “guihua”. “guihua” here, in general, refers to a type of a flower. That is why this name may sound gentle to hear, but it is indeed a scary scene when “guihua” opens its mouth while attacking its enemy. It can swallow the whole body of a human in a very short period. According to the Indonesian media, an examination on its length, weight and species has been carried out extensively by Indonesia’s National Institute of Science, Institute of Agriculture and other academic institutions. Many scientists said that they had never seen such a long snake.
According to the sources of Indonesia, it is not an easy task to subdue such a gigantic snake. It usually needs an accumulation of 8 to 10 strong men’s energy to get hold of this snake. Previously, the Guinness World Records has recorded the world’s longest snake which has a length of 10m. However, this snake was shot in 1912 in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the scientists disclosed that the discovery of this world’s longest snake is the Southeast Asia’s indigenous snake. This snake is commonly seen in Indonesia, Philippines but generally its length hardly reached to such extend.
This snake was discovered in the Amazon Rain Forest and it is the world’s largest snake. It can grow up to a maximum of 10m and weight in more than 225kg. It likes to swim in water, and sometimes it survives in the mud or in shallow water. It feeds on turtles, dolphins, tapir, and even 2 ½ m long alligator can become its prey. It chokes its prey to death before swallowing it and it can go with an empty stomach for few weeks to sustain its live. It gives birth to 70 small snakes. These vulnerable small snakes are more likely to be eaten by alligators along the shore, but when they grow bigger, the alligators will become the food that they feed on.

On November 7, 2008 at 9:44 am
That is an awesome snake its huge, we used to have a 6 ft python when i was 7 but it died
the we had a bull snake and she was pregnant wen we got her and she gave birth to 19 baby snakes that were about an inch or an inch and 1/2 long but 3 of the babies died but we still have the other 16 and the mom, we also have 3 turtles 2 dogs a million and a half fish 4 rabbits and a shetland pony, my family is full of animal lovers, and we used to have 2 bahama lizards but they got out of the terrarium and we haven’t found them yet but we think they died somewhere because they have been missing for almost a month, and we might be getting 2 ferrets soon.
On November 20, 2008 at 1:55 am

On January 28, 2009 at 1:58 pm
I must say that these Pict’s are indeed,”TANTALIZING”, “SCARY” & revealing at their capability at”Subduing” their ‘PREY’ & turning into nutrition for as long as 6 months or sometimes longer.But,all things being equal, the animals shown being consumed 6 months between feedings is the “NORM”.Now,for the “good stuff”,all of You who perused these photo’s & thought “MAN,I WISH I HAD A SNAKE THAT BIG”.You know the saying,”Be careful what you wish for,because it may come true”.All who live from FLA to NEW MEX & 2 to 3 States above that belt of States.Be aware that through the hurricanes that have slammed FLA.& tore apart all those homes & businesses the homes of snake lovers & the Bus’s that sold them,100’s upon 100’s of “PYTHONS & BOA’s were lost & scattered & due to the & climate in conjunction with the “EVERGLADES” make a perfect “ATMOSPHERE” that is “PERFECT” & almost equal to the origin of these “REPTILE’S”.Oh yes,all of the different type’s of these snakes “WILL” grow as large as their surroundings ‘WILL ALLOW THEM’ & then take into account the “MILLION’S” of acres of the everglades & the manner & speed of which they “REPRODUCE”.You may very shortly get your wish to see snakes of that magnitude right here in the good `ole U.S.A. ….And keep in mind that these Reptile’s are some of the “BEST” ambush “PREDATOR” there are.In FLA there are already reports of missing dogs & cats.Gee,I wonder where they could be?

On May 29, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Hey, interesting article but have you checked all your facts? The first snake in Indonesia that they claimed to be 14.85m long and 447kg – well, when 2 separate teams from The Guardian and Reuters arrived to measure it found that it was actually about 7m long and 100kg. Still a big snake, but please get the facts right.
On June 11, 2009 at 8:53 am

Snakes are beautiful creatures but they honestly scare me which is why I do not have, nor will have a snake as a pet. Its weird how the snake digests its food in those pictures :O
On December 5, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Don’t quit your day job. The actual length of the python caught in Indonesia was 21 feet long. Less than half of the “claimed” length and well short of the world record specimen shot in 1912.
