Anacondas are the heaviest snake in the world but the reticulated python is the longest.
www.theage.com.au...
15 metres is 49 feet or so.I think they average 20 feet.
Not too sure of the source but after searching this is what I found.

You are 100% spot on. The reticulated python is indeed the longest snake. It's all a matter of definition... Where the anaconda is the largest snake, the reticulated python is the longest so I suppose a more likely candidate for a 100 feet snake would be the python.

As for the snake in the article you linked to AKA Fragrant Flower... She wasn't nearly as big/long as they claimed her to be. I hate linking to Snopes, but right now they sum it up the best... Snopes

They caught a regular size reticulated python by the looks of it.
Thanks for the clarification.

Neither will I
The photo does seem to be a bit more genuine but it is a shame theres no boats in the water to give it any context.

It does look to be one hmf snake though


Heres a new address for the snake photograph as the old one doesn't seem to be working anymore:



Interesting historical testimony:
"I sprang for my rifle as the creature began to make it's way up the bank and smashed a .44 bullet into its spine. At once there was a flurry of foam and several heavy thumps against the boats keel, shaking us as though we had run on a snag. We stepped ashore and approached the creature with caution. As far as it was possible to measure, a length of 45 feet lay out of the water and 17 feet lay in the water, making it a total length of 62 feet. It's body was not thick, not more than 12 inches in diameter, but it had probably been long without food."
Colonel Percy Fawcett,Officer of the Royal Engineers -Amazon Diary.



"We saw the snake asleep in a large patch of grass. We immediately opened fire upon it. It tried to make off all in convulsions but we caught up with it and finished it off. Only then did we realize how enormous it was, when we walked around the whole length of its body it seemed like it would never end. What struck me was its enormous head, a triangle about 24 inches by 20. We had no instruments to measure the beast, but we took an arms length of string and measured it about one meter by placing it on a man's shoulder and extending it to his fingertips. We measured the snake several times and each time we got a length of 25 strings. The creature was well over 23 meters (75 feet) long."
Bernard Huevelmans, the 'father of' Cryptozoology.
Encounter with a group of Frenchmen and Brazilians.



"The visible portion was at least 80 feet long and the body was as thick as an oil drum. It was throwing up a wake as large as a river.
Father Victor Heinz -whilst on the Rio Negro,Amazon River,1925.

lol!!!!

I doubt Nessie is an extraordinarily large anaconda, anyway... Scotland is too cold for tropical semi-aquatic snakes!
