A green anaconda spends most of its time in the water, where its heavy body moves more easily. It is not venomous. After a big meal, an anaconda may not need to eat again for a long time.

Read about it
Green anacondas are the heaviest snakes in the world, though they are not the longest. They live in slow rivers and flooded forests, and their eyes and nostrils sit high on the head so they can stay hidden while almost everything else is under the water. Unlike most snakes, the mother gives birth to live babies instead of laying eggs. Females are much bigger than males.
