Longest snake ever measured is over 23.5 feet long
Nicknamed the ‘Baroness,' this python is longer than two great white sharks.

A snake in southwest Indonesia has shattered the Guinness World Record for the longest serpent ever spotted in the wild. Nicknamed “Ibu Baron” (the Baroness), the giant female reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) discovered in late 2025 measures 23-feet-and-8-inches from head to tail—about the same length as a regulation soccer goal. That’s 10 inches longer than the previous record from another female reticulated python from Borneo measured in 1999. That said, onsite herpetologists suspected her length may technically be even longer.
