[release][img]http://newsliteimgs.s3.amazonaws.com/101028_snake.jpg[/img] [b]The world's longest snake living in captivity -- a 24-foot python called Fluffy -- has died due to an apparent tumour, say keepers in Ohio.[/b] 18-years-old and weighing 300-pounds Fluffy held the title of longest snake by Guinness World Records and was a hit attraction at Columbus Zoo. But a spokesperson for the US zoo, where Fluffy had lived since March 2007, has confirmed workers yesterday found her dead due to an apparent tumour. While the news will come as a blow to many fans of Fluffy, it will no doubt be well received by the Ohio rabbit and mouse communities. "When Zoo visitors saw Fluffy they experienced many emotions such as awe, curiosity and even fear," stated a solemn Zoo President Dale Schmidt. "Everyone was moved by her presence and she created the connection for them to learn more, and care more, about misunderstood animals such as snakes." Preliminary findings of a necropsy (animal autopsy) performed by The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine revealed the presence of a mass on her ovary. Reticulated pythons are non-venomous constrictors found in tropical forests in Southeast Asia. They are the world’s longest snakes averaging 10-20 feet in length.

Good riddance.
Damn, that sucks.
Coincedentally I just finished writing a story today and a character in it called Fluffy died.
Too many cheeseburgers. You fuckers.
Sssssssssucks to be her.
Tonight my prayers go out to Fluffy.
I wish I had a snake as big as that.
Does this mean we will see a mouse increase spike in Ohio now?
I bet that tumor was just a dead warthog that it ate.

Damn, so many famous animals dieing in the news. First Paul the Octopus dies, then a Husky gets sawed in half, and now a giant fucking snake died.
[QUOTE=plokoon9619;25711009]then a Husky gets sawed in half[/QUOTE] Wait, wait, wait, wait... What?
I've actually never heard of this snake, but as a snake enthusiast and owner of 2 snakes, I can say this is a little bit saddening. Rest in Peace Fluffy.
News of Fluffy's death is indeed crushing. I feel so choked up I can hardly breathe.
Don't be a dick. To these people it was like our dogs and cats.
[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;25707141] who the hell calls the world largest snake FLUFFY!?[/QUOTE] It's supposed to be an ironic name.
