#Longest Recorded Python

A giant female reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) discovered in the Maros region of Sulawesi, Indonesia, in late 2025 is believed to be the longest wild snake to be formally measured, with evidence seen by Guiness World Record (GWR) confirming a length of 7.22 m (23 ft 8 in) from head to tail tip on 18 January. The serpent is now in the care of local conservationist Budi Purwanto. The remarkable reptile has been named “Ibu Baron” #snake #guinessbookofworldrecords #fact #news #science

Indonesian Python Makes History as World’s Longest Wild Snake A giant female reticulated python, named Ibu Baron (“The Baroness”), has officially made history as the longest reliably measured wild snake in the world, according to Guinness World Records. The massive snake was discovered in the Maros region of Sulawesi, Indonesia, in late 2025. On January 18, 2026, experts formally measured the python at an astonishing 7.22 metres (23 feet 8 inches) from head to tail. The species, known scientifically as Malayopython reticulatus, is already recognised as one of the longest snake species globally. However, after reviewing detailed evidence and measurements, Guinness World Records confirmed that Ibu Baron is believed to be the longest wild snake ever officially documented. The discovery has drawn global attention from wildlife experts and nature enthusiasts, highlighting Indonesia’s rich biodiversity and the remarkable size these reptiles can reach in the wild. #indonesianpython #worldrecord #guinnessworldrecords #longestsnake #wildlifenews #naturel #indonesian #breakingnews

VIDEO: Scientists verify longest wild snake ever recorded in Indonesia Researchers have officially verified a female reticulated python measuring 7.22 metres (23 feet 8 inches) as the longest wild snake ever recorded, following a detailed scientific assessment in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The python, discovered in the Maros region in late 2025, was carefully measured on January 18, 2026, by wildlife researchers Diaz Nugraha and Radu Frentiu. The measurement, taken from head to tail, confirmed the reptile’s record-breaking size and has since been recognised by Guinness World Records. ---- Continue reading in the comment section

Scientists have officially measured the longest wild snake ever recorded: a female reticulated python named Ibu Baron (“The Baroness”). Found in the Maros region of Sulawesi, Indonesia, she was measured from head to tail at an astonishing 7.22 meters (23 feet 8 inches) — surpassing all previous verified wild snake lengths. The measurement was conducted on 18 January 2026 by reptile experts Diaz Nugraha and Radu Frentiu, and subsequently confirmed by Guinness World Records. Reticulated pythons (Malayopython reticulatus) are known to be among the longest snakes on Earth, but specimens of this size in the wild are exceptionally rare. Ibu Baron’s discovery has drawn significant attention from herpetologists worldwide because it provides the first scientifically documented measurement of a wild python reaching such a length. Unlike captive snakes, whose growth can be influenced by abundant food and controlled environments, wild snakes grow naturally and are typically smaller, making this find especially noteworthy. After her capture and measurement, Ibu Baron was entrusted to local conservationist Budi Purwanto, who is now overseeing her care. Conservationists stress the importance of protecting large reptiles like pythons, which play vital roles in their ecosystems as apex predators helping to regulate prey populations. Ibu Baron’s condition and future health will be monitored closely as part of efforts to better understand the biology and conservation needs of giant snakes in the wild. . . . #news #worldinlast24hr #explore #trending #viral

“Indonesia has made wildlife history. A giant female reticulated python named Ibu Baron has been officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the longest reliably measured wild snake ever recorded.

A giant female reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) discovered in the Maros region of Sulawesi, Indonesia, in late 2025 is believed to be the longest wild snake to be formally measured, with evidence seen by GWR confirming a length of 7.22 m (23 ft 8 in) from head to tail tip on 18 January. This means that if placed across a standard FIFA goal, this prodigious python would occupy essentially the entire width from post to post. Alternatively, it is around the length of six-and-a-half shopping carts/trolleys in a row. Under anaesthesia, when snakes’ bodies fully relax, she could be at least 10% longer – so in reality her true length is likely nearer 7.9 m (26 ft). But owing to the inherent risks of anaesthetic, GWR believes that animals should only ever be “put under” for safety reasons or necessary medical procedures, so this has not been put to the test. The superlative serpent, who is now in the care of local conservationist Budi Purwanto, was assessed by Diaz Nugraha – a wildlife guide, rescuer and licensed snake handler from Kalimantan, Borneo, along with Radu Frentiu – an explorer and natural-history photographer who has resided in Bali for two decades. (A mutual associate of Frentiu’s and GWR’s – George Beccaloni, Director of the Wallace Correspondence Project – helped to relay details of the discovery.) #knowledge #science #python #reelinstagram #info
