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 (6.09 m) long with and average weight of 300+ pounds (136.08+ kg) many reaching lengths of 29ft ( 8.83 m) or more, with a weight of over 550 lbs ( 249.48 kg), in terms of length then and only then will the Reticulated Python exceed the anaconda, the longest python was measured at 33 ft ( 10.05 m) 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 Rainforest in South America which makes them excellent swimmers and are capable of holding their breath for around 15 minutes, female anacondas are generally 3 to 4 times 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 which are about 24 inches (0.6 m) long. 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 with a quick strike, 100 rear-facing sharp teeth hold the prey while suffocating it with constriction, (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 10 to 12 year year life span in the wild, in captivity some have reached 20 + years, the biggest threat to it is man and loss of their habitat.
The anaconda is at the top of the food chain. it has no predators but humans, they clear the land and rainforest they live in. Although when anacondas are babies they do have predators.
Birds, jaquars, caimans and crocs take the young, but only the jaguar would dare tackle an adult.
Some people grow uncommonly sharp teeth when they get their adult teeth. These teeth aren't always incisors like vampire fangs but the teeth further back. This comes from genes from the ancestors of hunter gatherer tribes of ancient times. Those people ate mostly meat which required sharp teeth to chew because it was tough. Unlike modern days where we have ways of making meat more tender and easier to chew. As a result of evolution and passing the DNA from generation to generation some people have inherited the genes that cause sharper teeth to grow. It's is much similar as to why some people can hear better than others. It's genetics.
If you're asking if people grow fangs like vampires in the movies then the answer is no. However some people pay dentists to have sharp caps put on their incisors so that they can make their existing teeth more like real fangs but those are not natural fangs.

snakes in the bible is the devil but im sorry if your a snake lover
There is no such reference anywhere in the bible. Besides, the Devil was in the form of a serpent. There is absolutely no way she could have had intercourse with the Devil. That is not even logical.
The source of this question is definitely somebody looking for trouble.
If you think about it more symbolically maybe it represents that you are having a lot of struggles or problems in your life but you are getting through and dealing with them all. when a problem comes at you, you quickly solve it or stop it. you keep yourself happy, healthy and stressfree...most the time. or you will be doing this in the future. I think it's because... when you think before you sleep, even if you don't remember what you're thinking of at that time, you're mind keeps thinking even when you're asleep ('cause otherwise, you'd be dead)... SO, even if you aren't really controling the thoughts, your mind just kept linking random thoughts until one of the thoughts really struck you (do you have a fear or liking to snakes?), so your mind took a liking to think about it. (And, by linking, I mean, say you're thinking of bubble gum... then you think of a starfish 'cause it's pink like gum, then you think of sharks 'cause they're in water like starfish, and so on...) That's my best guess... I doubt that'll happen to you in real life, but you never know... I've had many dreams of places I've never been and then days or months or years later I see a similar scene. So who knows? Just don't start bothering yourself about it, 'cause then you'll be thinkin' 24/7 about it and you'll get more dreams 'cause you think more intensly about it (don't start thinkin' it's a sign, 'cause it's not). And, avoid snakes anyways... I mean, I bet you'd be smart enough not to go up and pet one randomly... Just don't worry about the dream. ♥ MAKE YOUR ANSWERS SHORTER WE DONT HAVE THAT MUCH TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What does the snake mean in dream interpretation?
Dreams communicate through symbols which have unique meaning for each individual dreamer. To one person, a snake could represent "a snake in the grass," that is, someone or something that is not to be trusted. But to another dreamer, the snake could suggest the caduceus, the symbol of medicine and healing. Alternatively, at this time (December 2010,) a python might be seen in dreams after seeing the recently released Harry Potter movie, "The Deathly Hallows, Part 1," in which the python Nagini is vividly portrayed.
