There are two primary large snake families - the boa and the python.
Since all of these snakes are difficult to find by their very nature, all sizes are estimates only, and there very likely exist individuals in each species which are larger than listed here.
The largest by mass is a boa, the Green Anaconda - upwards of 25 feet long and 300+ pounds.
Largest by length is the Reticulated Python - upwards of 30 feet long.
Next largest is African Rock Python - upwards of 25 feet long.
Next is the Burmese Python - upwards of 20 feet.
Next it gets fuzzy (there are a lot of boas and pythons and even a few venomous snakes around this size), but most likely the Boa Constrictor is the largest at upwards of 15 feet. The King Cobra is longer, at upwards of 18 feet, but weighs less than a quarter what the Boa Constrictor weighs, and cannot consume prey as large as the Constrictor can.
The largest snake to ever have existed is the long extinct Titanoboa cerrejonensis, at 43 feet long and 2500+ pounds, this monster would have trouble squeezing through a doorway! It most likely fed on massive prehistoric crocodiles and turtles.

How does a baby snake hatch out of an egg?
Reptiles reproduce sexually through internal fertilization. The male will inject sperm into the female to fertilize her eggs cells.

Is a glass snake a kind of lizard?
Lizards have ear slits and eyelids. Snakes do not. Glass lizards, while having no feet, do have ear slits and eyelids. That makes them a lizard rather than a snake.
Not all lizards have ear slits (genus cophosaurus). Not all lizards have eyelids (infraorder gekkota excluding the genus eublepharinae). Glass lizards, however, have both these parts.
If a snake gets any section of it's body cut off it will die. The exception to this is if the tail gets cut off, but this has to be behind the cloaca, and with males, even further back; as their hemipenes are stored in the tail, just behind the cloaca. If a snake loses it's tail it will heal, but with only a nub for the rest of it's life. Snake tails do not grow back. So, no, it will not grow its head back.
Hope this helps :]
Snakes do not have ears.
Instead, they rely on vibrations, heat, and motion. They follow heat and some motions.
What you see in shows where a person is playing a song, which is when the snake is dancing up from a container, is not true. They cannot hear, but follow the owner or trainer's motions. they use their underbelly to detect vibration..
