49-foot python reported captured in Indonesia

By Associated Press

JAKARTA, Indonesia - Indonesian villagers claim to have captured a python that is almost 49 feet long and weighs nearly 990 pounds, a local official said.

If confirmed, it would be the largest snake ever kept in captivity.

Hundreds of people have flocked to see the snake at a primitive zoo in Curugsewu village on the country’s main island of Java.

A local government official said the reticulated python measured 48 feet 8 inches and weighed in at 983 pounds.

The Guinness Book of World Records lists the longest snake ever captured at 32 feet. The heaviest - a Burmese python kept in Gurnee, Ill. - weighs 402 pounds, according to the book’s Web site.

The Indonesian newspaper Republika said the snake, which was caught last year but only recently put on public display, eats three or four dogs a month.

Reticulated pythons are the world’s longest snakes.

They are capable of eating animals as large as sheep, and have been known to attack and consume humans.

The species is native to the swamps and jungles of Southeast Asia.

Undoubtedly many of you have heard about this lage reticulated python that went on display in Curugsewu, Indonesia, last December. Locals claim it was 49 feet long, which would make it the longest snake ever in captivity. However, a report at press time tells of a Reuters photographer who measured the the snake to find it was actually around 21 feet long. " I have no idea why the snake has shrunk," one keeper was quoted as saying. It just goes to show initial reports of record breaking snakes should be regarded warily, depending on who's making the report
