The world's heaviest snake is the green anaconda which can be found in the rainforests, swamps and marshes of South America. Although it is widely recognised that the articulated python can grow longer, the green anaconda can stake claim to the title of largest snake due to its girth and weight. How big can it get? In 1944 it was reported that a green anaconda exceeding 11 metres (37 feet) had been shot at the border of Venezuela and Colombia. Like many such reports, the information was a little sketchy and was never verified -- the snake allegedly slithered away before being weighed. In 2009 though, a substantiated report told of a 5.5 metre green anaconda in Surinam, a small South American country. Whilst not as big, this is still considered a large snake.
