Magnum C's answer is actually reflects an argument that's been circulating in herpetoculturalist circles for a good long time. The reason is because of the similar stats:
Reticulated Python = Up to 33 feet and 300 plus pounds.
Green Anaconda = Up to 33 feet and 330 plus pounds.
These are rare individual snakes, of course: It'd be like aliens finding Micheal Jordan, and concluding that all human beings exceed six feet in length. Most captive reticulated pythons rarely exceed 15 feet in length, while green anacondas average 10-15 feet. There are some that argue that the Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) is the world's THIRD largest, at an average of 15-20 feet maximum size and 200 plus pounds. But after the smoke clears, either way you've got some pretty good sized animals!

he's precise with regard to the Reticulated Python. a minimum of, in terms of length. The Retic, as an entire-grown grownup, can definitely attain 30 ft in length. nevertheless, for it is length, that's quite slender. so a approaches as weight and mass, the Anaconda takes the cake for days. An anaconda could be everywhere from 10 to 18 ft, with very uncommon cases of extensive 25 footers. yet their mass dwarfs that of any Python. individually, i think of the Reticulated Python is a lots cooler snake! to no longer knock the Anaconda, nevertheless...

You guys are all wrong. The reticulated python is the longest snake in the world, if you mean largest as in longest. The anaconda is the HEAVIEST snake in the world. And the boa constrictor is not second.

Reticulated python is the largest snake in the world. Anacondas are not as big as people think.

Anacondas and reticulated pythons tie for longest snake. The heaviest snake currently on record is Baby, a 300lb+ burmese python living in captivity.

LARGEST, yes... They are thick bodied snakes. The reticulated python is considered the longest, Anacondas are second... Burmese Pythons are 3rd. Then things like rock pythons, scrub pythons etc.... Boa constrictors get decent sized, but not really THAT big...

Yes. An anaconda killed in Colombia in 1944 was a record 37 1/2 feet long.
