The only known species is Titanoboa cerrejonensis, the largest, longest, and heaviest snake ever discovered, which supplanted the previous record holder, Gigantophis.
In short, the title for worldâs largest snake is shared between two species. The longest snake is the Reticulated Python, Python reticulatus, which resides in southeastern Asia. The snake that recently died in Columbus was a whopping 24 feet (7.3 meters) long but the species is known to get even larger. Several individuals have been documented between 25 and 30 feet, but things get a little murky and questionable once we break the 30-foot barrier.
