Longest snake living in captivity dies in Ohio zoo​

COLUMBUS, Ohio – An Ohio zoo said the longest snake living in captivity has died. The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium said workers found the 24-foot python Wednesday morning dead from an apparent tumor. The snake, named Fluffy, held the Guinness World Record as the longest snake living in captivity. It was about as long as a moving van and as thick as a telephone pole. It weighed 300 pounds.

In fact he got his 'name' from me.



Man, it's so strange that a guy I haven't seen since the 10th grade ...

... all of a sudden is reported as dead from a tumor.


I guess I'm getting old -- but still feel so young -- it's kind of weird.



Well have a good day everyone -- I'm starting to 'chill' more. When I first came back on it was like a TITAL WAVE cause I was so anxious to get back in touch with everyone -- very excited to see so many still here and all.


But now I'm ready to kind of sit back and relax --- throw a line in once in awhile but not overdo it.
