There has been a lot of argument as to who holds the title of the biggest snake; actually there are two snake specie that can be place in this category – the Anaconda of South America and the Asiatic Reticulated Python. The latest record today of anaconda’s length is 37 feet only. According to some report by European explorers in South America Anaconda can reach up to 100 feet but no one has ever come close to measuring them because they are mostly under the water. Plus the fact that no one dared coming close to such a huge size, how about you trying? (lol).

Anacondas live in fresh water where they spend their time hunting for food. They are carnivorous who likes to eat pigs, deer, crocodiles, fish, jaguars… and humans? They can do eat humans, there have been no report about it, but the natives of South America do tells that Anaconda have done it before. Though Anaconda can be very dangerous it does not have poison, it just kill its prey by squeezing them with its big body or drowning them under the water. And Anaconda will eat its prey whole without biting the prey.

To some people Anaconda or Phyton can be fascinating pet. Like any other pets, taking care of these kind of exotic pet needs great responsibility and care in feeding and protection most especially making sure that it never go to the wilds. Big snakes to some are beautiful and exciting but they are definitely dangerous. And they can do it anytime, anywhere, even at your own house. Can harm anybody even its pet owner.
