The history on that anaconda is complete hype and fabrication. I looked up the weather data for northern Osceola County. Daytime highs over the three coolest winter months average in the low 70’s, and nighttime lows over that same period average in the upper 40’s. That green would never be able to survive though the winter at those temps and nowhere near that far north in Florida. It is way to cool for that snake to have any interest this time of year in feeding, so the duck and goose story is false as well. It appears to be fairly cool in the photo going by the jackets, and the greens head looks pretty limp. My guess is that it was released within a few days or weeks of being captured. Pretty sad.
