The snake pictured is most definitely not an Anaconda. It is a ReticulatedPython (Python Reticulatus) which only occurs in South-East Asia (Indonesia,Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia). The Reticulated Python has beenknown to get as large as 33' long and while very, very rare, it has attackedhumans. Its normal diet is rodents, with the larger snakes occasionallyeating a small goat or pig. They are very intelligent and alert snakes.They are constrictors (non-venomous) which means they wrap around it andsqueeze to eventually suffocate their prey.
