KENDAL, Indonesia (Reuters) - It's still a big snake, just not a
record-breaker.
When a recreation park in Indonesia put a huge reticulated python on
show last week, keepers insisted to reporters it was 49 feet long. That
made it the longest ever caught.
But amid growing skepticism of the claim, a photographer working for
Reuters returned to the Curugsewu park in the small central Java town
of Kendal Wednesday with a measuring tape. The snake's true length --
around 21 feet
