Captive 24-26 retic on CNN news

Biggest ever?

Guinness World records is ready to say so.

Over 24 might be bigger than Fluffy.

After watching several different videos of this retic, I would estimate her at 20 to 22 feet. Still a very large retic.

I only saw the one and really couldn't tell total length from it but certainly big even for a retic.

Looked maybe a little girthy but not horrible (not another twinkie thank god).

Rubbish, i think she's hardly 20 feet in length. One of my retics is quite longer that that one, that much i can tell straight at first glance, so i know a thing or 2 about big snakes.

Here you go, Kelly. This is an old pic, though.

photoshop; I can tell from the pixels and seeing a few 'shops in my time

Seriously, if you have a larger than 20' retic, post a good comparison photo; they seem fairly uncommon

I'm sorry, Varanid, but exactly what "photoshoped" snake are you talking about, the original retic from the post in question or my retic on the stairs? If you are talking about my snake, makes no sense what you're saying, i took the shot myself and it is legit.

i completely agree she looks to be approx 20ft,i myself own retics that are longer than her but not as girthy

fluffy the tiger retic formerly of columbus zoo stands in the record books as 24ft but she was measured on camera for a program called snakezilla at 20ft 1in at columbus zoo after the record had been published
