Re: True length of "record" giant pythons.
From what I have seen, 25 ft is going to be a very difficult length to reach for any current species.

I don't think they're verified either. I haven't been able to find any verifiable info on either one.
Just for the record, I <3 Twinkie...and I'm sooo jealous that Missy's going to get to see her this weekend! lol

Re: True length of "record" giant pythons.

And which one is this again? Date/location? Is this a captive animal or wildcaught?

pretty sure 27 was a typo, I'm still not sure which one is 24 ft and 400 lbs though.

Biggest load of horse poop ever, find a source to back up your claims or you're no better than the people running around saying they get 30 ft and dine on humans. You guys see the problem with spreading this misinformation? We're perpetuating the notion that these amazing and intelligent animals are nothing but monsters.

The longest in captivity today are a snake that brady barr measured and fragant flower which amazingly both are the same size at 22ft 9inches.
Fluffy was only 20ft 1inch and most of the big american breeders overfeed their giants to make them look longer when in fact Medusa and twinkie etc are really only around 21-22ft. These are still big snakes but still way off 24/25ft.
The longest in the UK that we know of is 21ft 8inches and is in a private collection.
'Prony' is also quoted as between 24/26ft depending which youtube video you click on lol but again she looks around 22ft and has yet to have a verified measurement.
I can't believe guiness records passed of Fluffy as the longest snake at 24ft without even measuring her.

Re: True length of "record" giant pythons.
You keep spouting off that Medusa is only 21-22 ft and eventually you're gonna get a very unpleasant conversation from Harry.

Me and several other uk memebers have already been there.
BUT all we are saying is the photos released of Medusa are not of a 24/25 foot snake, not saying she isnt that big but merely stating she isnt that big in the pictures provided and everytime we were provided with a picture which argued the point that the snake in question she wasnt 24/25ft and when everyone eventually agreed it was then said it was an old picture. (I'm not sure if it was Harry himself or someone that works with him that was posting etc) Though I doubt she would have grown much if any over the last few years.
Shes a very big and beautiful snake, but she isn't 24/25ft in any of the pictures flying about.
