Python caught in Malaysia could be the largest ever recorded

A huge python found in Malaysia could break the record for the longest snake ever to be caught.The reticulated python - thought to be at least eight metres (26ft) - was discovered on a construction site on Penang island and is said to weigh around 250kg.

Construction workers, who were in the process of building a flyover on the popular tourist island, called for emergency services after spotting the snake under a tree.  alaysia’ Civil Defence Department, the team that caught the snake, said it took them 30 minutes to trap the dangerous reptile.

 The Guinness Book of World Records currently names the world’s longest snake to be kept in captivity as Medusa, also a reticulated python, who lives in Missouri, US.Medusa is said to weigh 158.8kg – over 90kg lighter than the Malaysian beast – and is kept on show at The Edge of Hell Haunted House in Kansas City.In order to take Medusa’s crown, the Penang python – who is yet to be given a nickname – would first have to be verified by the Guinness World Records body.
