<\/a>Green anaconda (Eunectes murinus<\/em>), exhibited during a Canadian Pet Expo<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n The green anaconda is a primarily aquatic boa species that spends significant time in water. A fully grown anaconda is quite capable of killing and eating a fully grown human, so caution is advised where anacondas slither and swim around in the wild.<\/p>\n In spite of the danger they pose on humans, or sometimes perhaps because of it, some people do keep green anacondas as pets. It is not advised unless you are a snake expert, or have a serious death wish. Unless you know what you are doing better stick to keeping ball pythons<\/a>.<\/p>\n The green anaconda, often referred to just as “anaconda” is the largest snake currently in existence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2691,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[65,71,48,50,52],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/teleonomix.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2692"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/teleonomix.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/teleonomix.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teleonomix.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teleonomix.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/teleonomix.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teleonomix.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/teleonomix.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teleonomix.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teleonomix.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nGiven a chance a full grown anaconda probably will eat your pets, your neighbor, your children and even you. So anyone considering an anaconda as a pet should first think long and hard what they are getting into and if they can handle such a large and strong snake.<\/p>\nFurther Readings:<\/h4>\n
