Welcome to The Kings and Queens of Snakes

Welcome to the fanlistings.org approved fanlisting for Anaconda snakes. Anacondas are large, nonvenomous boas found in tropical South America. Although the name actually applies to a group of snakes, it is often used to refer only to one species in particular, the green anaconda, Eunectes murinus, one of the largest snakes in the world, and (together with the reticulated python of southeast Asia) possibly the longest. They live mostly in water, such as the Amazon River. While this snake poses a danger to humans, and there are several ascertained cases of people being killed by it, it does not regularly hunt humans. Its standard prey includes fish, river fowl, and occasionally domesticated goats or ponies that venture near or into the water. Anaconda may refer to: Any member of the genus Eunectes, a group of large, aquatic snakes found in South America; Eunectes murinus (the green anaconda), the largest species, found east of the Andes in Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, and on the island of Trinidad; Eunectes notaeus (the yellow anaconda), a smaller species found in eastern Bolivia, southern Brazil, Paraguay and northeastern Argentina; Eunectes deschauenseei (the dark-spotted anaconda), a rare species found in northeastern Brazil, coastal French Guiana and Guyana; The giant anaconda, a mythical snake of enormous proportions found in South America; and applied loosely, any large snake that "crushes" its prey by constricting.
