Impresive specimen my friend, about 81 kg of pure beast. Amazing!!!

You are right my Friend she is very powerful when we captured her she wrapped around the arms of the person pictured behind the scale, he started to scream saying please take her out from me please do it fast, the other person that was capturing the Anaconda and me acted fast taking her away from him. All pictures taken when she was calm after about 30 minutes from the capture.

She was captured in Cano Guanaparito, Arismendi, Barinas, Venezuela, captured and released after picture. The information says that it measured 6 meters long.

We can say 18-20 ft is the absolute max limit for the largest green anacondas.

@johnny rex
One thing is sure today you don't find many Green Anacondas over 5,50 meters long, only a very small number reach over 6 meters long. Largest one I have seen pictured is this huge female it was posted in #67 I estimate it measured 7 meters long

Incredible to see those two records of huge anacondas, but that are completelly ignored in the litterature because they are in jaguar books. This is the same that happen with the two Nepalese tigers in the book of Dr Dinerstein, nobody is going to search tiger records in a rhino book, or anacondas in a jaguar book.

That record of the anaconda of 6 meters long from Dr Hoogesteijn's book (Venezuela) and the 5.7 m giant from De Almeida book (Brazil) must be in the table of records of anacondas. Incredible as it is, the figure of 110 kg was from an "empty" animal, making it one of the heaviest anaconda on record in the wild. There are other records in captivity, as you know, but came from snakes that were pregnant.

Thank you for sharing @epaiva and @Pckts. Happy
