Trinidad an Tobago Reptiles
The Anaconda, Eunectes murinus, locally known as a Huilla, is the largest snake in South America and can grow to a length of 25 feet. It is at home in swamps, rivers and marshlands where it lies in wait under the waterline for approaching prey. It is non-venomous. In Trinidad large individuals are rare due to habitat loss and a tendency for the population to kill all snakes encountered.
