I just had to send an email (below) to the guy who covered the story - we'll see what if anything happens.

SUBJECT: Anaconda story needs correction/retraction

----------------------------------------------------

... because it's an adult Bull Snake (Pituophis catenifer sayi), not a Green Anaconda

For comparison:

Paul
