On the other side, the heaviest snake on the earth is green anaconda that is reported to have maximum weight around 550 pounds. The weight and length of snakes sue to be different depending on their species. One more example of the smallest snake on this earth is Barbados thread snake that has a maximum length only up to 4 inches even when it fully grew.



Reticulated python can grow up to extreme lengths, but this category of Gadsden snakes is rare to find on this planet. The general length that can be seen commonly is somewhere around 10 to 20 feet, and the weight range can be somewhere between 2.2 pounds and 165.3 pounds.

Snakes live in all corners of the world except, New Zealand, Greenland, Ireland, Iceland, and Antarctica.
