Depends on what you mean by largest!

The largest in terms of overall weight is the Saltwater Crocodile which can grow up to 7m (over 23ft) in length.

curently the largest living lizard spices is the Kamodo dragon, growing to an average length of 2 to 3 metres (6.6 to 9.8 ft) and weighing around 70 kilograms (150 lb). they are found on the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang. and also are a member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae).

Answer 3

The Estuarine Crocodile of Australia, also called the Saltwater crocodile, is believed to be the world largest living reptile. It can reach 7 m (23 feet) in length, and 400 kilograms (about 882 lb) to 1000 kg (about 2,204 lb).

The Komodo Dragon is the largest terrestrial lizard. A member of the monitor lizard family, it can grow to an average length of 2 to 3 metres (6.6 to 9.8 ft) and weigh around 70 kilograms (150 lb).

Coming into the debate are also some members of the snake family, the python and the anaconda. The python holds the record for the greatest measured length - up to 10 m (33 feet). However, there are historical reports from European explorers (who may well have been exaggerating in their fright) of anacondas in the jungles of South America being between 15 to 30 m long (50 - 100 feet).

Answer 4

The reticulated python is the longest recorded snake and reptile overall, with some reports of it exceeding 30ft! The Saltwater Crocodile is the heaviest reptile.
