anaconda question

anacaondas are the heaviest of the snake species but not the longest that title goes to the reticulated python... i had to get rid of my old retic.....waaaaa... now all i have to do is talk the woman into letting me get another one (which wont happen she is why i get rid of all of my snakes in the first place she hates snakes and is scared of them)
i've had 4 anaconds, and the largest one was 8ft. i've seen many-a large condas as well, most in captivity only reach about 15-18ft, others get dwarfed, or die from their keepers cageing them improperly.

The very few true accounts of anacondas successfully swallowing humans involved teenagers in their early-mid teens. Depending on the culture, this is fairly close to most adults, so if a particularly large 'conda was involved (say, 18 ft plus), I wouldn't say adult humans are out of the question.
For an adult GREEN anaconda, eating a person is NOT out of the question. (Yellow - no way, they stay too small) It doesn't happen that often, but there are a handful of recorded cases in South America.
