I, too, noticed the way they were holding the snake. And the snake didn't seem bothered at all (he wasn't coiled tightly around their arms), though that could be from the cold.

There were two other happy surprises in the article:
A- They correctly identified the snake rather than calling it a Boa or Python
B- They called it "non-venomous" rather than saying they are "not poisonous"

All around good article, I think.

Nice find, I don't see why they messed with it, it was doing perfectly fine, and wasn't really hurting anybody.

Your joking right?

We need these animals rounded up and removed or killed. We do not need them breeding!

Notice the dress of the men. My guess is our anaconda friend was extremely uncomfortable and roaming for someplace warmer! We need more cold weather in florida!


I am also certain that someone let this animal go. This is not the everglades and this snake did not make it up from the everglades.

You know when plants are "dormant" it is the best time to plant them, right?
