The video has 4.7 million likes and 5,800 comments. One user remarked, “Put her back in the Amazon.” “She’s no plaything.”

Another wrote about the reptile’s behaviour: “Genuine question but why is she biting like that? Is it just because of not wanting to be handled, and how would you go about stopping her? I imagine if you put her down she would still keep biting until you got further away?”

A third said, Snakes are evil creatures tht shouldn’t be here! I don’t care what nobody says ! They kill people !”

The green anaconda is the world’s largest snake, according to National Geographic. They can grow to be 30 feet tall and weigh 250 kg.
