Diver gets shots of 26 foot anaconda!

That's amazing! We saw a much smaller one when I was in Peru last year, and even at 12ish feet it was far too big a snake for me to be comfortable with!

Wicked cool article, thanks for sharing. That snake looks as thick as I am. Totally awesome looking.

Nice, I'd love to do that! Although, I'm pretty sure the snake isn't 26 ft long, otherwise zoologists/herpetologists would have already made notes on it.

It's look more like 18ft. But newspapers exaggerate everything, definitely not 26ft lol.

That is terrifying! It looks like it came straight out of the movie Anaconda!!!!

Am I the only one who looked at these pictures and thought, "wow, that's some really clear water... and the cleanest riverbed I've ever seen"?

I thought this too lol. I was thinkingthe water would be way cloudier too. That waters way clearer than long island sound.

That is amazing!

I love seeing snakes in their natural habitat; that snake looks like it has seen some harcore stuff* (I learned from last time mods!!! No more infractions for me!!!)

Pretty amazing thing. I wouldn't be so comfortable in front of a 25+ foot snake. But these pictures are amazing!

I'm not convinced that snake is 26 feet long either, BUT it is still a BIG snake!!! I would not want to come across it during my work day...

The water is pretty clear, but depending on the river conditions, that's not too unusual. I work in and around rivers and creeks, and often the water is clear enough to see to the bottom (and sometimes deceptively shallow looking).
