The question what is the biggest snake can be confusing, the biggest as far as girth (largest being measured at 44 inches or 1,1176 m) is the Green Anaconda, on average anacondas are more then 20 ft long many reaching lengths of 29ft or more, with a weight of over 550 lbs, in terms of length then and only then will the Reticulated Python exceed the anaconda, the longest python was measured at 33ft but even this python can't match the total mass of the anaconda.
Anacondas are members of the Boidae family of reptiles and spend most of their time in rivers and swamps of the Amazon in South America which makes them excellent swimmers, female anacondas are generally larger then the males and bear their young live and are called "Neonates", the number of young varies, some have produced 100 babies, but the average is between 20 to 40 babies. Diet consist of (depending on the size of the anaconda, the larger the snake the larger the prey) large/small rodents like capybaras, also pigs, caiman, jaguars, deer, dogs, birds even fish and is acquired by ambushing and constricting it's prey (the anaconda is so powerful it generally crushes it's prey) then swallowing it whole, the digestion of the anaconda is very slow thereby allowing it to survive without food for well over a year.
Anacondas have around a 30 year life span and the biggest threat to it is man and loss of their habitat.

How does an anaconda reproduce?
Mating in Anaconda's occurs during the Rainy season during April & May. Males identify receptive females and then copulate with them. Courting & Mating occurs almost exclusively in water and may sometimes happen on Land. More than one male may try to mate with a female. Males wrap around the females and try to mate with them. During this frenzy, they wrap around to form groups which are called "Breeding Balls" where multiple males try to mate with the female in the group. The group could stay in position for 2 to 4 weeks until the copulation eventually happens.
Large anacondas and pythons could swallow an enormous boar or crocodile. Bulls are very strong and could injure a tiger. So, it probably could not swallow an adult bull, but a small bull would be perfect.

Litters are usually around 20 to 40 offspring but upto a 100 individuals may be born in a single litter. Babies are around 70 to 80 cms long at birth and receive no parental care.

First, locate it among trees or brush sometimes near water. When you find your snake, slowly get directly in front of it, and grab behind their head. Then it may release a brown watery liquid that smells like dead fish out of its anus, but it is harmless. When finished, wash hands.
One example is "she was as scared as a mouse in a snake's enclosure".
Another example is "his lies are as venomous as a snake".
