THWhat's your guess, over or under 25 ft (7.6 m) long?
🎥 from @ muhammadzamriropi (TT)
The longest snake species in the world, the reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus), slithering through a town in Malaysia.
In the wild, they usually grow to around 13-16 ft long, but in rare instances, adults can grow to over 20 ft.
There wasn't an actual measurement on the one in this video, but my guess is over 25 ft, which would be crazy.
Either way, it's safe to say that hill and entire town now belongs to this snake.
And while we're at it, ever hear of the titanoboa? It existed around 58+ million years ago and was the largest snake species to have ever existed, at up to 50 ft (15.2 m) long and 3 ft (.9 m) wide.
