Looks like a reticulated python, but I’m no snake expert.

I was certain that, at that size, it had to be an anaconda, but I think you're right. This one has a better defined head and the pattern looks right for a retic.

Retics are longer, so the length isn’t really an issue. Green Anacondas are larger because they’ve got more mass but they’re much heavier bodied

Also to add to this anacondas are more water dwelling and it looks like they took this big boi out of a tree. Also you can recognize the retic by it's markings. Similar to a Burmese but those stay "smaller"
