   | I saw that.. looks to be an anconda which can grow quite large (as long as 30 feet, some say).. along with the size comes a nasty disposition. They don't like to be bothered or handled much. http://www.extremescience.com/BiggestSnake.htm |

| Anacondas can be quite sluggish on land due to their size.. he may have been sunning. I used to catch snakes as a kid.. these days, I'm alot more wary. My newest asst manager got bit by a snake recently which turned out to be poisonous. Turned his entire foot black and he had a heck of a recovery. No lasting tissue damage luckily.

 Holy moly.Last year I went mushroom hunting with my wife in some woods in the family farm. After finding five - count 'em FIVE - snakes of various colors and sizes, I turned to her and said, "You know what, I know this fellow SELLING morels for $30 per pound, let's go buy a few pounds from him. I've seen enough snakes today." ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/the-break-room/496301-check-out-the-size-of-snake.html The morels were delicious, though I am sure they would have tasted sweeter if I had managed to find a few on my own.

| If you don't know what you're doing, hunting mushrooms can be just as dangerous as getting bit by a snake. Luckily, mopst snakes are more than willing to leave you alone as long as you do the same. Some poisonous snakes will even make a dry bite (no poison) because poison is at a premium to them.. more useful for food than defense. Yeah, the manager was lucky it was just a baby.. the hospital at first thought it was non-poisonous until he came back bleeding and in pain.
