GEORGE TOWN: The 7.5m-long python, which received international publicity for possibly being the longest snake in the world and attracted large crowds, has died.

The snake died on Sunday, a day after it laid an egg, slightly bigger than a ping pong ball. It is believed that the snake was carrying more eggs.
