Snakes are elongated, limbless, flexible reptiles. There are about 2,900 species of snakes and almost 400 are venomous. Snakes consumes termites, rodents, birds, frogs, small deer, reptiles and people. Snakes eat their prey whole and able to consume prey three times larger than the diameter of their head.
So here is a list of the Top 10 Biggest Snake in the World.
The Carpet Phyton is a large species of python in the genus Morelia, reaching between 2 to 4 metres (6.6 to 13 ft) in length and weighing up to 15 kilograms (33 lb). The average adult length is roughly 2 metres (6.6 ft). Males are typically smaller than females; in some regions females are up to four times heavier.
The average size of a mature female boa is between 7–10 feet (2.1–3.0 m), whilst it is 6–8 feet (1.8–2.4 m) for the males. It is common for female individuals to exceed 10 feet (3.0 m), particularly in captivity, where lengths of up to 12 feet (3.7 m) or even 14 feet (4.3 m) can be seen.
The Bushmaster Viper is the longest venomous snake up to 13 feet, found in scrublands and forests from the Amazon River basin north to Costa Rica. These large snakes are reddish brown to pinkish gray in colour, matching their forest floor habitats, and they may bear x-like or diamond patterns across the back.
The king cobra is the world's longest venomous snake, with a length up to 18.5 to 18.8 ft (5.6 to 5.7 m). This snakes, which preys chiefly on other snakes, is found predominantly in forests from India through Southeast Asia to Indonesia and the Philippines. The king cobra averages at 3 to 4 m (9.8 to 13 ft) in length and typically weighs about 6 kg (13 lb). The longest known specimen was kept captive at the London Zoo, and grew to around 18.5 to 18.8 ft (5.6 to 5.7 m).
It holds the distinguished title of the largest non-venomous snake in all of Australia. The scrub python’s maximum length is 8.5 meters (28 feet).
With the average adult length of 18 feet, and the maximum 25 feet long, its dominance in the wild is aggressive and robust, and it will eat nearly anything that it can wrap it mouth around. As suggested by its name, the snake’s habitat is Africa.
The average adult length is about 13 feet, and the longest one recorded was 20 feet. The interesting thing about the Burmese python is that, to incubate their eggs, they raise the temperature of their bodies, rather than merely enveloping itself around the egg, as other serpents do.
The reticulated python is found in South East Asia. The average reticulated python is 18 feet, the longest one was recorded to be 32 feet.

Top 1: The Titanoboa Snake
Titanoboa was 13m (42ft) long - about the length of a bus - and lived in the rainforest of north-east Colombia 58-60 million years ago. The snake was so wide it would have reached up to a person's hips, say researchers, who have estimated that it weighed more than a tonne.
Good Information!! :)

Umm - have you even read your own information? According to your sizes, Bushmaster and Carpet python should be 9 and 10, then red-tail, King Cobra, Burmese, African Rock, Green Anaconda, Reticulated Python then Titanoboa.
ReplyDeleteUmm - where's the Black Mamba (14.6ft) and the Yellow Anaconda (15 ft)
And make up your mind which is the longest venemous snake in the world, King Cobra or Bushmaster (by the way, the Black mamba is longer than the Bushmaster).
If you are giving people information, make sure its accurate
!
Im really interested in snakes but I want to see really long snakes not just the picture of a snake that can grow really long. But I love it.

The titanoboa snake .......................———--------------------------
DeleteNot seeing how this makes sense. Yellow anaconda (one of the top 6 largest snake species known as the big 6) has been left out of the list, but Colombian boa is on there? A BCC boa is larger than a BCI boa anyway. And yes you do need to make up your mind on the longest venomous snake. I'll help ya, the king cobra is the longest venomous species.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to know where exactly you are getting your information from, and how your own writings are contradictory to each other. Needs a little more work lol
Nearly all incorrect maximum sizes.
ReplyDeleteWrite one about dragons instead.
wtf dude
DeleteMuch information but the image are bad done i give you a month to correct them to see the interly
ReplyDeletethx for info
ReplyDeleteWhat about the Olive Python? Shouldn't they be on this list?
