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.

Is a female garter snake more aggressive then a male garter snake?
They can be, especially if they're gravid - and I speak from experience !
Years ago, I bought a garter snake that had (wrongly) been sold as a male. Every time I picked 'him' up - 'he' would whip round and bite me ! I put up with it for about four weeks - and was about to 'admit defeat' and sell the snake on to another keeper - when I woke up one morning to find she'd given birth to 12 babies !
Why do anacondas shed their skin?
They shed their skin to grow. Unlike humans, who's skin is continuously renewed, reptile skin doesn't stretch as they grow. Therefore - periodically, then shed the old skin after forming a new one underneath.
An anaconda ambushes its prey (which can include humans) by biting and then coiling its body round the victim. As the victim breathes out, the coils are tightened even further, stopping the victim from breathing in - causing suffocation and death.

How did anaconda's come to Florida?
Anacondas where kept as pets and were released by their owners and bred in the wild.
No. However, it can eat or swallow a young calf whole, like it can with deer or deer-like creatures that live in the Amazon. But a full-grown, 1400 lb cow? Not a chance. The cow is simply much too bulky and big width-wise for a snake that size to be able to get its jaws around it, let alone the animal's head.
What does it mean to dream scorpion biting you?
Many consider this to be a dream of impervious strength or even immortality. To dream of a deadly scorpion is only possible when one is in a state of "Divine Protection" meaning you have no vulnerability.
Of course there are those that think it means you should call an exterminator and shake out your shoes in the morning before you put them on. Your choice.
