The largest anaconda ever measured was nearly 28 feet long and 44 inches around. Unlike pythons, anacondas tend to live in the waters of Central and South America. The anaconda can grow nearly as long as the python and it tends to be both wider and heavier. Although not native to North America, the Burmese python has become an invasive species in parts of the Everglades National Park in Florida.Īlthough pythons tend to be the longest snakes in the world, there's another type of snake that grows really long and usually happens to be much heavier. Pythons live in parts of Africa, Asia and Australia. Although reports of large snakes are notorious for exaggerations, the longest pythons easily stretch over 28 feet! If you define “largest" in terms of length, then the longest snake in the world today is the reticulated python. It depends upon how you define “largest." It also depends upon whether you're talking about snakes alive today or snakes that have ever lived.
