‘Largest’ is often taken to mean ‘longest’. But if girth or bulk is also taken into account, the largest is the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus) of South America. Grows to atleast 9 m. (See Q & A 268). If length alone is considered, the reticulated python (Python reticulatus) tops the list. (It is also bulky but thinner than the anaconda). ................
