Danger! Don't click! Alive Snakes Here:
Yesterday I posted interesting videos about these great snakes. Today I wanted to learn more about them.
The most long snake ever measured was a 33 feet= 10 meters long Asiatic Reticulated Python (buy it).
They spoke many times about 100 feet (34 meters) and 50 feet (15 meters) anacondas seen by hunters. One organization gives great money to those who shows 10 meters long anaconda, but in many years nobody could dimostrate it.
Anaconda (Eunectes murinus) is not the longest, it's the largest snake, boa constrictor(Buy Common Boa Constrictor). It is known that anaconda can grow till 9 meters long, weight 250 kg (!) and till 30 cm in diameter.
The Tamil word anaikolra meens "elephant killer".
The longest Reticulated Python ( Python reticulatus)(buy any species of python) as said was 10,05 meters long, his weight can arrive 160 kg (great difference, I say). Normaly adult phyton is 6-7 meters long. (so a little snake... imagin to meet something like this)
And now what interesting says Dr. Jesus Rivas about anacondas he studied about 11 years
He studied more than 900 animals!
Anaconda females are much more larger than males and it is the biggest difference found in tetrapods.
There is no competition fights between males. They only push each other.

Snakes are most interesting. Their skin is beautiful. i love well-crafted tattoos of snakes on backs, shoulders, arms, legs. They are cool to the touch. A friend has a boa that is locked in another room when he is at work. He is afraid for this other pet - a great dane! I would love to hear more about snakes!
I watch the movie Anaconda. Man eater this anaconda, isn't it?
Dear friends, if you go to category Snakes of this blog, there is a post about the snakes-my neighbours. Not like anaconda, fortunately, but normally about 1-1,5 meters long. Interesting animals.
In the first part o this discovery of snakes there is the third video-compilation of anaconda-photos where there are,I think a photo of a men, found and photographed in the cut snake. But normally anacondas not eat men, they prefere something more tasty.
i'll continue to write about snakes too.
This is great info to know.
