We're only in the early stages of Anaconda keeping and if we can keep the government off our backs for a while I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see well mannered adults just like we did with retics that had a very similar reputation in the early years.

The snake in the video is a very big olive python if I'm not mistaken. The belly coloration is a good indicator as well as the complete lack of pattern and body build.
I'm not posting to pick on you like I normally do but you're wrong in that there's a lack of a pattern in the video.

If you pause throughout it you can see very faded blotches. I originally thought african rock python but there is a noticeable lack of that pattern. It could be too muddy/dirty to tell along with the sun making the glare off the scales.

The blotches to me do say green anaconda. Does anyone know the location the video was shot in considering that would do most wonders to exclude any species that aren't native to it.

EDIT: After pausing the video at the 17 second mark before the strike denotes a head shape that isn't normal for green anacondas from what I've seen. It does almost look like a retic but it's a bad shot.
