Mega Long Venomous Snake in Okinawa
Take a look at Okinawa’s longest snake:
The habu was found along a road in an area of Okinawa not far from Camp Hansen. It was apparently alive at the time, but died shortly afterwards. It was 242 cm long, making it the longest habu ever found in Japan.
According to the English language Wikipedia article about the Okinawan habu, this was about twice as long as an average habu:
Grows to an average length of 4-5 feet (122-152 cm). With a maximum of 7.5 feet (229 cm), it is the largest member of its genus.
