Some few months back brought a story of a giant killer snake
that was killed in Egypt by some scientist and divers. See picture of the giant
snake HERE.
However, I just searching online and discovered the
picture of the snake that holds the Guinness record as world’s longest snake in
captivity. See pictures and statistics of
the world’s longest snake below.
She weighs more than 300lbs, is 25ft long and needs at least 15 people to hold her.
She weighs more than 300lbs, is 25ft long and needs at least 15 people to hold her.
Now Medusa has slithered into the Guinness World
record books as the world's largest snake living in captivity...
The massive python, lives in the Edge of Hell
haunted house attraction in Kansas City, eats a 40lb animal about once a week
but could easily eat something weighing more than 100lbs.
Medusa's primary diet consists of a combination of
rabbits, hogs and deer, served to her every two weeks.
Staff knows her as the sloppiest eater within
attraction, as she's been known to accidentally bite into herself instead of
her dinner.
Representatives from the Guinness Book of World
Records have verified her new title and she will now join the book for 2013.
Medusa is owned by Full Moon
Productions, a haunted house attraction in Kansas City, Missouri
Medusa's trainer Larry Elgar claims he isn't
intimidated by the monster python.
He said: 'They've actually cut people out of them,
they are man eaters.
'Fear is just a lack of understanding. I have no
fear. I understand that she can kill me. I've been wrapped up and put
unconscious by a reticulated python that was only 18 feet long.
To keep
Medusa fed, she is given a combination of rabbits, hogs and deer every two
weeks
'I
understand the repercussions, but that's no reason to fear. That car you drove
in has killed more people than anything else in the world.
But
you're not scared when you put your keys in it, are you?'
Mr Edgar
said he bought the eight-year-old snake as a baby and she's still
growing.
He said
then ' his snake was 24 inches long, as big as my finger.'
Medusa was brought to the haunted house as a 24 inches
long baby
Medusa has bumped Fluffy, a reticulated python, off
the top spot.
At 24ft long she held the record for longest snake
living in captivity until she died at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Powell,
Ohio, in October 2010.
She was 18 years old and still 24 ft long and died
of an apparent tumor.
