Only the reticulated python grows longer, and it weighs less than the green anaconda. Maybe one of the most poisonous snakes. The snake inhabits swampy river valleys and stream banks in much of South America, east of the Andes and south to Argentina. Though it spends much of its life in sluggish freshwater, it also occasionally climbs trees and bushes with the help of its prehensile tail.

Anacondas ( most venomous snake ) are a group of large snakes of the genus Eunectes. They are found in tropical South America. Four species are currently recognized. The South American names anacauchoa and anacaona were suggested in an account by Peter Martyr d'Anghiera but the idea of a South American origin was questioned by Henry Walter Bates who, in his travels in South America, failed to find any similar name in use. The word anaconda is derived from the name of a snake from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) that John Ray described in Latin in his Synopsis Methodica Animalium (1693) as serpens indicus bubalinus anacandaia zeylonibus, ides bubalorum aliorumque jumentorum membra conterens.

The three green mamba species are smaller (1.5–2 metres, maximum 2.7 metres) and are usually found in trees. The East African green mamba (D. angusticeps) of East and South Africa, Jameson’s mamba (D. jamesoni) of Central Africa, and the West African green mamba (D. viridis) are all more timid than the black mamba and have not been reported to attack humans. Like the black mamba, they will flatten their necks into a narrow hood as a defensive posture. Green mambas prey upon birds, small mammals, and lizards and lay from 5 to 17 eggs. Two of the three green mambas have record longevities of more than 18 years in captivity. Mambas are members of the cobra family.
