What is the largest snake in the world?

Answer:

Answer 1

Precise specifics, figures and claims have long been debated, with some saying, "Lo ... here!" and others, "Lo ... there!" but as a general 'ball park':

Both the Anaconda and the Reticulated python can grow over 25 feet in length.
However, more specifically, if with biggest you mean, 'the longest', it is the Reticulated Python which can grow 30 ft long, or even more. If by "biggest" you mean the heaviest/largest, it is the green anaconda which can weigh 250 kilos.


 

Answer 2

The Green Anaconda is the heaviest snake in the world, with the largest reputable find measuring 25 feet long and weighing 500 pounds. Reticulated Pythons can be longer than anacondas but do not have nearly the mass. The largest reputable Reticulated Python was over 33 feet long, but only weighed about 335 pounds.
The Reticulated Python is the longest, the Green Anaconda is the heaviest.
