That image is a hoax. And to neal, Yeah a 5' snake could probably kill you if you sat there and let it. Green anacondas, retics, burms, and afrocks all have the capability to overpower and kill a human being easily. I didn't say that anacondas go around hunting people in the wild. I just said they can easily kill a human being.

That picture is a fake, if you're going to post stuff make sure it's true before you try to give people bad impressions on things.

dont tell me that a anaconda cant kill a adult cause you dont know anything

Number One: The video is of Jesus Rivas, who has been studying condas in the llanos in Venezuela for many years. Nowhere near the amazon. The largest one he has encountered was 17 feet. He is a well respected scientist and probably knows more about the natural behaviors of anacondas than anyone.

Number Two: Whoever is narrating that story is, as mentioned, an idiot. Do you know of many newscasters who actually know anything about what it is they are reporting on? Especially with reptile stories, they are exaggerated to take advantage of the fear factor and sensationalism.

Number Three: I don't think anything under 9 or 10 feet could kill me. A five foot boa, if really intent and squeezing the crap out of me, could still be relatively easily unwound. I would think anything 10 or over wouldn't have much of a problem.

Number Four: That photo of the guy in the retic is of course a fake. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, though. I know of no documented cases of rocks, burms or condas eating someone, but I know of at least two instances where retics have. The last one being in '95 I believe.

Jesus is working, in the video, with a wild conda that looks to be at least 12 foot. I would love to be there with him catching that snake, but I sure wouldn't want to do it alone.

Pets are one thing. Wild specimens are another cup of tea entirely.

How about before you post, YOU READ? Nobody said anything about an anaconda couldn't kill an adult. I said it couldn't eat an adult. Learn to read.

Chill time guys,

Lets remember to keep it civil.

I'm pretty sure an anaconda could not SWALLOW and digest an normal sized adult human. Kill it, yes. Eat it, no.

But I have heard some strange things. My husband used to be friends with this guy who claimed his father worked for a rescue squad somewhere (it was so long ago that I heard this story I can't remember). I believe the snake was a retic, which if I'm not mistaken, get larger than anacondas, right?

Ok, so there was this man who lived out in the middle of no where. Kept a LOT of reptiles and didn't care for them right. He kept his retic in his bathtub with a mesh fence type "lid" on it. Well, one night the man gets really drunk and passes out on his floor. The snake gets out and having not been fed in a long time, takes the opportunity for an easy meal and begins to try and swallow the man, feet first. A day later, the rescue squad is called out to the man's house and they find him on the floor, barely alive, in shock. The snake had swallowed his legs up to his hips, but couldn't swallow any further and died. They cut the man free from the snake and rushed him to the hospital. His legs had already begun to be digested and he died from shock.

Its a story, not sure if its real or not, but I really don't think a large snake could swallow something our size, at least not without dying or having to spit us back out.
