The largest reticulated python on record (dubbed "Colossus") lived at the Pittsburgh Zoo in the 1950s, and was measured at 28.5 feet long. Unconfirmed wild animals reportedly reach 30 feet or more. Although reticulated pythons are the longest snakes, they are not the most heavily built. That honor goes to the anaconda. Their color and pattern can vary along their range, most commonly being a brownish color and having a diamond-shaped pattern along their back.

- Python reticulatus, Python reticulatus, also known as the reticulated python, is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. Adults can grow to 6.95 m in length but normally grow to an average of 3–6 m. They are the world's longest snakes and longest reptile, but are not the most heavily built. Like all pythons, they are nonvenomous constrictors and normally not considered dangerous to humans. Although large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult human, attacks are only occasionally reported.
