the biggest anaconda on record weighed nearly hundred lbs ! wow ! though the reticulated python gets a little longer the green anaconda is a much heavier and stronger animal !

They used to have a bounty on certain snakes but apparently the animal rights activists didn't want them killed so the bounty hunters had to waste time and risk their own safety trying to wrestle them into a sack and bring them back alive. What they did with sacks of live pythons and anacondas is anybody's guess. It wasn't worth the trouble or the risk to bring 'em back alive. They might be good eating and if trendy Miami restaurants put them on the menu it might be worth the hunt.

I know you accepted Grifty as your Lord and Savior.
Seriously, I couldn't live in a place overrun by huge snakes. Or small ones neither.
