The monster snake named,Titanoboa cerrejonensis, would way about 2,500 pounds and it would be 42.7 feet long. Scientist believed that it slithered around the planet about 58 to 60 million years ago. Snakes are poikilotherms which means they are cold-blooded, which means to power up their metabolism they need heat from their environment. To add to that, the temperature had to be from 86 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit to survive. The snake's remains were found in a coal mine in South America. All in all, this snake is known to be the biggest snake known to mankind and scientist hope for another one.
