The guiness books measurement in 1998 (27 feet), Nigel Marvins "Giant Reptiles" video (2001 or 2002?) where they show her and give the updated measurement as 28ft 6 inches. She is listed as the longest snake ever proven, not a skin measured from a dead snake. Im sure she grew in 5 years before she died.
To this day that money for a snake that exceeds 30 ft is around $25 million and still uncollected.
The retic in those pics "the 49 footer" is very obese.
The largest retic in captivity ever "page 10 Reptile magazine, March 2003" was 26 feet and 275 lbs, died in the Bronx zoo (Samantha).
