Indonesian villagers are claiming they have caught a python which is almost 15 metres (49 feet) long, according to local media reports.
If confirmed, it would be the longest snake ever held in captivity.
It is currently being kept in a zoo in the village of Curugsewu on the island of Java.
Reports said that the snake was purchased from a man who caught it in a Sumatra forest last year.
Newspapers quoted a local official as saying the python was 14.85 metres long and weighed 447 kilograms.
They said that the snake had only recently been put on public display and ate three or four dogs a month.
Following the claims, Reuters news agency subsequently reported that the snake did not measure up and was not of record-breaking length.
Officially, the longest snake ever caught was a python shot in Celebes in Indonesia in 1912, which was almost 10 metres in length.
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesian villagers claim to have captured a python that is almost 49 feet long and weighs nearly 990 pounds, a local official said.
If confirmed, it would be the largest snake ever kept in captivity.
Hundreds of people have flocked to see the snake at a primitive zoo in Curugsewu village on the country’s main island of Java.
Local government official Rachmat said the reticulated python measured 48 feet 8 inches and weighed in at 983 pounds.
The Guinness Book of World Records lists the longest ever captured snake to be 32 feet. The heaviest — a Burmese Python kept in Gurnee, Ill. — weighs 402 pounds, the book said on its Web site.
The Indonesian newspaper Republika said the snake, which was caught last year but only recently put on public display, eats three or four dogs a month.
Reticulated pythons are the world’s longest snakes. They are capable of eating animals as large as sheep, and have been known to attack and consume humans.
The species is native to the swamps and jungles of Southeast Asia.

well not exactly that one, but another like it that making the rounds on facebook.
I was always of the impression that the longest measures was 33ft (10m) but that was years ago. Seems some of these exorbitant claims made by hunters etc may not be so far fetched, I came across this:
