Amazing, especially the last photo!
October 9th, 2007 at 7:00 pm
That’s not an Anaconda. It looks like a Burmese Python.
October 11th, 2007 at 5:46 pm
JACKCITY!!! I don’t care if it’s not an anaconda it’s still intense.
October 11th, 2007 at 5:54 pm
where were the photos taken? if this happened in africa, it could be a rock python, but certainly not an anaconda, as they’re a new world species. wow, i’m a dork.
October 11th, 2007 at 9:18 pm
yeah, not even close to an anaconda, what an idiot.
October 11th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
That’s definitely not an Anaconda. and the guys are lookin much alike papous from papua new guinea or iryan jaya (indonesia)…
great post anyway……

Who cares if it’s an Anaconda or not, it’s still a bloody big snake. Even the idea of going down a hole to catch a it makes me feel ill. Definitely not wise to do if you’re claustrophobic and/or scared of snakes.
October 12th, 2007 at 7:28 am
They don’t really look Burmese Jack
October 12th, 2007 at 8:49 am
that is frikkin awesome
who gives a shit if it is an anaconda or not? the assholes who pointed that out would never in a million years have the balls to do what the guy who caught the snake did.
damn! those guys who got the snake are insanely courageous and resourceful.
abso-fuckin-lootely awesome photo sequence
October 12th, 2007 at 8:51 am
Wow thats enough shoes and belts to pimp out the whole tribe.
October 12th, 2007 at 11:33 am
It’s not an anaconda, but who cares? It’s still awesome.
October 13th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
@DJ
it doesn’t hurt to be accurate. if not, we’d have a bunch of people wasting others’ time saying “who gives a shit if it is an anaconda or not?”
balls != passing false (however unintentionally) information

[...] Como capturar anacondas, “impresionante documento” Es una colección de imágenes que nos decribe el proceso “artesanal” para capturar este reptil, ¿… y después, para que sirve? mejor no preguntar, algún textil, algún plato tÃpico… [...]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that the snake was not an anaconda… anaconda’s live in S.America, in the amazon, and in swamps, not in the dry dirt, granted catching the snake is cool and intense.
Why did they need to catch the snake in the first place? In the one photo of the snake striking, was she incubating a batch of eggs?
Good luck catching an anaconda before it catches you.
October 15th, 2007 at 10:40 am
Cool sequence! Wow. I’m glad someone mentioned that it’s not an anaconda–I’m looking at these photos with my son, who is studying snakes, and I would have blithely told him, “And that’s what an anaconda looks like!” So, yes, accuracy is good. Thank you.
On the other hand, the simple mistake does not detract from the wonder of these photos. I do wonder what they are hunting the snake for–to sell to collectors? For its meat and skin? And why don’t they take the eggs? Seems like a bunch of baby snakes (what species *is* it, anyway? And where?) would be worth something too, if they could get them to incubate–which I guess is a pretty big “if.” I do feel bad for all those abandoned eggs…
October 15th, 2007 at 7:46 pm
To kill it for snakeskin (belts and shoes, etc.)
October 16th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
One possible reason for catching and killing that snake may have been the damage it was doing to local livestock. I’m fairly certain a snake that size would be able to eat a chicken, possibly even a goat or a small pig.
October 19th, 2007 at 3:23 am
Uh, anyone wonder who took those photos and how they were shot from inside the hole? I smell bullshit on this one….
October 24th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
Holy fucking shit that’s not an anaconda GOSH! What a freakin waste of time. Go kill yourself. Throw yourself in the hole next time! Who could possibly give a shit about giant deadly killer snake?
Internet discussions make me lose faith in the human race.
October 25th, 2007 at 4:01 am
It is an African Rock Python, and it should be left alone.
October 26th, 2007 at 1:18 am
simple question. How did they get the photo of the snake being drug out of the hole from the den side? maybe the whole thing was a set up.and yes its Not an Anaconda, but is, what has already been described as a Burmese Python.The natives might give us an idea of the whereabouts of the location,but Pythons have been known to adapt to many habits, and if you live anywhere with moderate humidity and an average temp. of 70.F you could have one of these big bastards in your wash house.P.S.Dave,cool the dramatics,Snakes are NOT KILLERS,Humans kill more Snakes in a day then snakes kill humans in a decade.As for John,I fully agree that this and all reptiles should be left alone,I’m not fully buying the Rock Python thing, but given the discrepancies of the post and the photos I will not discredit your observation.
October 27th, 2007 at 8:11 pm
anacondas dont bite, they wrap. the snake looks like he bites the guy holding the cam, but in the next shot its bitten some other guy must passed on the cam
October 30th, 2007 at 7:58 am
B - Yes constrictors do bite (and it’s not an anaconda). They don’t have venom, but they bite to get a hold on their prey before they wrap around and constrict.
Heather - They probably did not take the eggs because they had no need to. I’m sure they destroyed them. My guess is the goal was to kill the snake to save their children and livestock because…
Steve - A snake 1/5th that size can eat a chicken. Try a human for that guy (easily).

“It is an African Rock Python, and it should be left alone.”
Ditto.
November 22nd, 2007 at 8:51 pm
Just another proof of the it’s not just palefaces who can loot and destroy for absolutely no reason at all. Why can’t humans leave wildlife the fuck alone? (It’s way past time for humans to go extinct ourselves, given the mindless urge to wipe out species and rape the planet.)
December 11th, 2007 at 12:58 am
Everyone that said something bad about this is probably some fat guy, you have to admit that the black guy does have courage to do something like that

February 10th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
WOW…
They didn’t get the eggs cos…they’re letting them grow so the next generation can catch them and pimp out the next tribe with new snake skin jackets, shoes, belts etc etc
As for this baby that has already been cought…well, it’s gonna give out free snake skin jackets, shoes, belts and gawd knows what…for everybody
A job well done to my brothers!!
February 13th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
its a rock python and its pretty ballsy to do that. own four big snakes like that but would NEVER get them out like that
February 29th, 2008 at 12:58 am
OK SLOW PEOPLE…Firs of…some people eat those. Disgusting some might add but it is what it is. They live off the land. Second…the Dens have multiple entrances/exits thats why it takes more than 2 people to go in and get the snakes. 3.Thats how they’re caught. Seen one of these get caught in cameroon. except the person stuck his arm. IT takes more time opening up the entrances than it takes to catch and bring out the damn snakes.
March 3rd, 2008 at 1:25 am
SheeeeeeeT!!! I have my balls,but pretty sure that goddamn thing was a set up. Don’t get fooled. You’ve been Punked!!! Yari Ka!!! For those who gives comments, I have my snake with their eggs attached but never hold it like that
April 14th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
dude that is some intense crap right there i would never even try that in my life
July 16th, 2008 at 8:54 am
wow .That was so cool. I can’t even imagine that those people went inside the hole and caught the anaconda.that was awesome.
August 9th, 2008 at 6:57 am
ok. wow. This most likely an african rock python. possibly a burmese. it is hard to tell. They are hunting her for either food or or skin. They do not have to worry about the eggs as they will not hatch since the mother can no longer incubate them. this snake is not a danger to humans as humans smell and taste very bad to snakes. It is not fake, people actually do this. They are probably not worried about their livestock as this female is very skinny and will not eat for the 50-60 days of incubation plus the 3 week shedding period prior to egg laying. She is very skinny and malnurished. Stop being stupid people. P.S all you idiots FAIL.
August 23rd, 2008 at 7:39 am
oh my god.thats rocking!i cant hardly believe.oh god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 30th, 2008 at 11:07 am

man this guy is craxy as hell but he got balls thats was bum did he even get paided to do that or just wanted the trill well good job i was shacked and it had baby thats one mean anaconda
October 17th, 2008 at 6:25 am
I also have to admire these unique photos as well as the courage of these people. I believe they are real and I respect the ways o the tribal people but one thing does leave me sad - that they killed her when she was incubating her eggs.
I do not know anything about this type of a snake but I do own a breeding pair of yellow anacondas (who are live bearers). But as far as I know, in captivity the reptile eggs dont need the mother, just the warmth provided by an incubator. A snake is coldblodded which means it cant generate its own warmth, therefore I dont think it has any available for the eggs (???) cannot bet on this. Sure I can see shes been sitting on them but could that be more to guard them rather than heating them up? Perhaps the remaining eggs will incubate on their own if left in peace?? I do hope thats what happened otherwise that story saddens me as well as amazes me.
April 16th, 2009 at 8:28 am
Can’t have been an Anaconda…markings don’t seem to check out. Besides, Anacondas give birth to LIVE babies. the eggs are kept inside the mother until hatching.AND they tend to give birth in the water!
Note: using your hand as bait is quite suicidal…
April 16th, 2009 at 8:31 am
Anacondas give birth to LIVE young and in the water where the babies can hit the ground running (er.. swimming)…
May 14th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
what can we see the shake show some more if you can
May 15th, 2009 at 1:11 am
anaconda
June 19th, 2009 at 1:53 am
has anybody noticed that in the one picture she is completely coiled.. then with one strike she is completely spread out around the exterior of the eggs..? kind of seems weird.. also considering the arm wrapping in the first picture is fur, yet when dragging her out of the hole it looks like material.. and the markings look different from the first two to when she’s coming out.. just my observations. but interesting and valid points from everyone else
June 20th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
OH my god its a python and next time go to live with the fuckin` PYTHON and throw urself down the hole
June 30th, 2009 at 3:14 am
its anaconda =.= phyton cant be longer thn 17 feet tht anaconda is 23 feet zzzz
September 26th, 2009 at 6:32 am
AHAHAHAH, he looks so happy to have caught that thing, its just funny to me how he smiles while holding something that is 12-24 feet long and could swallow him whole, its just plain funny!
