The only known species is Titanoboa cerrejonensis, the largest, longest, and heaviest snake ever discovered, which supplanted the previous record holder, Gigantophis.
Before Medusa took the title, the previous record holder for longest snake in captivity was Fluffy, a 7.3m python who died in 2010 at 18 years old. Reticulated pythons, who have a gridded pattern on their skin that gives them their name, are normally three to six metres long and can be found in water. Longer snakes could be living in the wild.
