The longest Snake in the World

The 50ft monster was captured by a team of villagers, terrified about the threat it posed to their community, who jumped on it, tied it up and put it in a makeshift cage.
 The creature, which has been named Fragrant Flower, is now drawing big crowds to a primitive zoo at Curugsewu, on the main Indonesian island of Java.
  Although it is rare for humans to be eaten by pythons, two Indonesian children have been swallowed in recent times.
 And last week a Thai man almost died when a python wrapped itself around him and started eating him, arm first.
 Armed with 100 teeth, the python grabs victims in its mouth then uses its massive body to squeeze them to death. It swallows its prey whole, digesting an entire animal such as a dog or a sheep in one piece.
 Pythons more than 25ft long can open their jaws wider than a human's shoulders and therefore are able to eat a man whole.
 A local government official in Curugsewu said of the village's prize attraction: "It's a beautiful creature but very frightening.
  "You would not want to be caught up in a fight to the death with this one because the snake would definitely win."
 Reticulated pythons can make their homes in holes, caves or trees, usually in rainforests or bushland near streams and lakes.

But they also lurk on the outskirts of villages where they have been known to hunt chickens, cats, pigs and dogs and even bigger prey such as monkeys and deer.
 Fragrant Flower is being fed on stray dogs which are killed before they are put in its cage. It gets through three or four a month.
 The reticulated python gets its name from the criss-cross pattern of its scales, the word reticulate meaning a network of lines.
 Zoologists say they are intelligent but unpredictable creatures.
 They can be very placid and then suddenly strike with a devastating bite that can sever arteries and tendons.
 Its only rival in size is the South American anaconda, which is sometimes heavier but not longer.
  The previous heaviest snake recorded was a female anaconda, which was shot in Brazil in 1960 and weighed more than 35st.
