The REAL lenght records
Well, while we wait for someone to go get a true measurment of the big Indonesian python, there's no point in saying this or that anymore because it all comes down to mere speculation.
And, though we don't know for sure if this is a record breaker yet, here i leave a reminder of what lenghts the snake must surpass in order to be called such:
longest snake kept in captivity - retic (Collossus) 28' 6''
longest snake ever found alive - retic (in 1912) 32' 9.5''
longest snake ever known to exist - a Giganthopis gastini specimen found in Egipt (quite dead, of couse) at 36'
The 49' lenght would claim ALL this records, but i don't think it's even close. As i said, we have to wait...
