Man that is some herping trip!
Anacondas can be nippy. Especially in the wild, from what I hear. Did that one put up a big fight or what?

Sorry I haven't been checking the Photography forum...
This snake was one of the most docile snakes I have ever seen. He did hiss a few times while I took this particular picture, but that was after everyone in the group had already held him. He didn't like the lens in his face.
Maybe he's partial to Canon.
