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

http://www.cbs3springfield.com/news/local/Anaconda-gets-loose-in-a-Springfield-Apartment--100562379.html

For comparison:

http://www.google.com/images?&q=green+anaconda

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullsnake
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Anaconda

A follow up and correction story would be great - hopefully the snake made it back to it's owner.

Best,
Paul
