World’s Biggest Snake Discovered in Indonesia<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n
\n a good thing Norma Yvonne is on vacation, far, far away from here, or
\n she wouldn’t go near the computer for a week just from seeing a snake
\n this
\n big on the screen. Honestly, she is so serpent-phobic that when
\n Honey the cat bounds through the window, proud as can be, with an innoculous
\n pencil-gauge garter snake, (which happens several times each summer)
\n she makes me
\n move
\n the bed,
\n turn
\n over the mattress, move the furniture, look under the rug, etc. for SEVERAL
\n DAYS merely on the irrational possibility that there is another one lurking
\n in the house somewhere.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n recorded Biggest Snake in the World, and more than twice as heavy. How
\n does something like this suddenly appear? Genetically enhanced escapee
\n from
\n some secret bio-lab, or a divinely delivered sign of the approaching
\n apocolpyse? You decide…<\/em><\/p>\n
\n bus, and weigh as much as six grown men, you can afford to be.Certainly, the
\n owners of a zoo in Indonesia haven’t been quibbling over the dietary needs
\n of an enormous python, which prefers to eat four fierce brown
\n dogs every month.<\/p>\n
\n Doing so was no mean feat in itself. According to reports, it took 65 men and
\n the blessing of a tribal leader to snare it.<\/p>\n
\n that the reticulated python is 49ft long and has a maximum body circumference
\n of almost three feet. It weighs, they say, 998lbs. The
\n Guinness Book of World Records lists the longest captured snake as a 32ft reticulated
\n python found on the Indonesian island of
\n Sulawesi in 1912. The heaviest is a 402 lb. Burmese python in Illinois,
\n US.<\/p>\n
\n unnamed snake was captured, in Jambi province on Sumatra in mid-2002,
\n it was 61 long. 12 feet reportedly had to be severed after a rotten deer
\n was found undigested in its stomach.<\/p>\n
\n longest snake species but adults usually measure only between three and
\n six metres long. They kill their prey by biting it, hanging on with their
\n 100 teeth and then squeezing it to death by wrapping their bodies around
\n it.\n <\/p>\n
