Q&A

What theoretically is the limit or max size and length for a serpent/worm before they get crushed by their own body?

+0
−0

Based on one of the comments in my previous question about What is the max size for underground creatures before the square-cube law takes a toll?

Makes me want to know the limit size for a long creature like a snake/worm before their own body crushes them or their organs don't function properly.

And I know there's a prehistoric snake like titanoboa that is very huge, but I still want to know: Is that the limit a snake/worm can be, or theoretically can it be even longer and bigger than that and still function?

Feel free to edit the tag to be more appropriate.
