The Mesh Python of Kansas City, listed in the Guinness Book of Records, holds the longest snake title in captivity for 20 years.
In Kansas City, a unique record holder – a Mesh Python, named Medusa, 21 years old this year.
It weighs more than 158 kilograms and is 7.7 meters long, allowing him to enter the Guinness Book of Records as the longest snake resident of the captivity, the IFLSCIENCE reports.
Medusa was born in 2004 and became a real star. It was housed home with ghosts, and after setting a note in 2011, it took many 15 people to maintain the giant reptile.
October 13, 2025 Python celebrates his 21st birthday. In the wild, the Mesh pythons live for about 22 years, but up to 30 can survive in captivity.
The mesh pytoons are considered the longest reptiles in the world. Usually, they grow more than six meters, and the record copy located on the island of Sulawes in 1912 reached 10 meters. Other giants were also known: in 2018, Python was caught in Malaysia in Malay, but he died for three days.
In addition to the wonderful sizes, these reptiles have another feature -the ability to partenogenesis, that is, reproduction without men. An 11-year-old snake named Telma postponed six fertilizer eggs without a partner.
Earlier it was reported that in the city of Herford, in western Germany, a 58-year-old woman found a dangerous found in her garden-a 2.5-meter boost weighing 15 kilograms.
The snake considered killed will appear again in Barbados
