At 7.67 meters (25' 2") long, Medusa, a Reticulated Python owned by Full Moon Productions in Kansas City, Missouri, is the longest snake ever kept in captivity. The 8-year-old, 158.8 k (350 lb) reptile is primarily kept coiled up in a nook in a haunted house attraction (The Edge of Hell) with its cavernous turn-of-the-century brick warehouse. Medusa's primary diet consists of a combination of rabbits, hogs, and deer served to her every two weeks. The haunted house staff says she the sloppiest eater within the attraction, and has been known to accidentally bite into herself instead of her dinner. While a python's behavior can be wild and unpredictable, Medusa is typically tolerable and respectable of others unless agitated, hungry or provoked.
