Snake rescuer Budi Purwanto runs a shelter for rescued pythons. He saved the record-breaking snake Ibu Baron, a name which means "The Baroness," and is currently caring for her. Radu Frentiu, Diaz Nugraha.
Nothing could have prepared Radu Frentiu for meeting the snake known as Ibu Baron, which means "The Baroness" in Indonesian.
“I had never seen a snake this big,” says Frentiu. “This snake could easily swallow at least a calf, if not an adult cow.”
Frentiu, an explorer and natural history photographer who has lived in Bali, Indonesia, for two decades, has encountered his share of big snakes. But Ibu Baron deserved a record-breaking distinction.
Guinness World Records recently confirmed that Ibu Baron, a reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus), is believed to be the longest verifiably measured wild snake in the world. She was first discovered in the Maros region of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, in late 2025.
