General information!
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 and are capable of holding their breath for around 15 minutes, 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.
They are one of the heaviest (but not the longest) species of snakes. They are found in central (tropical) America. They are an aquatic snake in that they hunt their prey in and near water. They live-bearers - they give birth to live young instead of laying eggs.
How do snakes eat their food like a big prey?
Snakes can consume a meal that is larger than their mouths because their jaws are loosely jointed, and their upper and lower jaws can move independently. Then after the snake will move its head back and forth to come to prey into its stomach.
it depends on the breed of snake some snakes breathe once every 4 seconds or other breathe 15-30 times in 2 minutes

The coccyx is the remnant of a vestigial tail, our evolutionary ancestors would have had tails. By using simple methods of observation, one can see that humans do not have tails. The coccyx still serves a function as balance and a site where critical nerves interconnect.

Do Indian Cobra really drink milk - myth or fact?
Snakes do not drink milk, neither can they digest it properly. They are reptiles and have no association with milk, only mammals who have mammary glands can produce milk and thus, a liking for milk in non mammals is unlikely, but if severely dehydrated, a snake might drink any liquid available.

Without pictures it is impossible to tell but all snakes are reclusive and will hide from a predator. No snake (save for possibly the black mamba) will chase down a predator. There are two species of black snakes in the pine barrens. The Northern Black Racer and Black Rat Snake. Both are nearly all black with white or light markings on their chin and throat. The Rat Snake is noticeably lighter in color on its underside.The Black Racer is typically a more aggressive snake than the Rat Snake but it will retreat as well when given the chance. As its name implies the Racer can move very quickly.
