|
Hauppage, NY (WFN) -- If you're the owner of the world's largest snake, there are a lot of people who want to see how it measures up. An organization called the International Fauna Society is crawling through a worldwide snake search to find out just how big the creatures can get. There are lots of reasons for the search but the long and short of it has to do with a recent sighting of an Indonesian snake that was thought to be 49-feet-long but turned out to be only 22-feet-long. The person who helps identify the record-breaking reptile will be flown to a major snake collectors' show in Daytona, Florida, where they will be awarded a major prize -- $1000 in snake food, including rats, rabbits and other critters. But while the IFS hopes to identify "a legitimate title-holder," it will be hard to top the all-time record-breaking rattler, a 33-foot-long creature killed in 1912.
