This anaconda seems pretty long. Could it touch 6m?

How long do we think this one is? I'd certainly say at least 5 m.

This is a video of the moving of an anaconda in Den Lille Dyrehage, a zoo located in Arendal, Norway. The snake weighed in at about 88 kg whilst in the garbage can (34 minutes into the video). Thus, subtracting the garbage can's weight, the anaconda itself presumably weighs 75-80 kg. 

According to the zookeepers, the snake is 5.5 m long. Judging by the video, I would say it looks shorter than 5 m. But, on the other hand, it doesn't look too bulky for an anaconda this weight?
