Shocking! World's Longest Snake Confirmed by Guinness World Records in Indonesia

On February 6, 2026, Guinness World Records officially confirmed the discovery of a massive reticulated python in the Maros region of Indonesia, now recorded as the longest wild snake ever officially measured. The organization carefully verified evidence including photographs, video, and measurement procedures before confirming the female snake's length at 23 feet 8 inches (approximately 7.2 meters), breaking the previous record. The snake was weighed at 96.5 kilograms using a large canvas bag on a scale typically reserved for rice sacks. The snake, named 'Ibu Baron' (meaning 'Baroness'), is currently under the care of nature conservationists, including Budi Purwanto, Diaz Nugraha, and Radu Frentiu. Typically, adult reticulated pythons only grow to 3-6 meters, making this specimen an extraordinary find that has astonished wildlife experts worldwide.
