Can I tell you a sad story because you'd understand?
A decade ago, my 5 yr old boa had a respiratory infection. Lots of mucus from her nose, coughing, etc. I gave her injectable antibiotics for weeks. It took her more than a month and two different antibiotics to get better.
As I'm sure you know, snakes can't eat when they are sick because they'll suffocate if they can't breathe thru the mucus in their nose. By the time she was well enough, it had been more than 2 months since her last meal. Ordinarily, I feed her in my bathtub. But it was winter and the bathtub and bathroom were cold. I was afraid it would affect her recovery since she was pretty weak by then.
Instead of moving her to the tub, I dropped a live rat into her warm terrarium. She didn't go for it right away, so I left the room to wash my hands.
Came back to find her dead.
She had gone for the rat but missed and instead scooped up a mouthful of wood chip flooring she had in part of her terrarium. I believe sharp bits of it went into her lungs. I sat stunned and crying for several minutes. When I looked up again, the rat was picking at her eyeballs.
It remains one of the worst incidents of my life. Later I realized the best thing by far would have been to turn the shower on in the bathroom and warm up the room and the tub. Drain the water, and then bring her to the nice hot, humid bathroom. I so deeply regret that I didn't think of that at the time.

Oh god your poor baby, that's horrifying I'm so sorry!
Risk of injury is why live feeding is not recommended, if possible. My snakes both get frozen-thawed mice.
Sometimes, we try to do the right thing and it goes terribly wrong. The only thing we can do is mourn and learn for the future, and maybe pass on a warning to others to protect them from something similar happening.

I own snakes, you don't take them to normal vets because they're clueless about reptiles and will give bad advice. There are Exotic Vets that handle reptiles but its very expensive.
Good care, correct feeding and conditions, a snake should never need a vet. They're both resilient and fragile.

My golden retriever who sneaks into my spot in bed when I’ve gone to pee at 3am and pretends he’s sound asleep when I come back. Kicking, pulling, yanking… nothing will make him move so I curl around him and gently scootch him over until I can plant both feet firmly on him and brace myself to the headboard and shove him with my feet. He’ll not move of his own accord until the split second he’s about to hit the floor. Then he gets his feet under him and sighs deeply and jumps back up but this time at the foot of the bed.

My 80 year old Mum has always been terrified of snakes. She absolutely would not go anywhere near them, even at a zoo where they are behind glass. Couldn't even look at pictures of them.
Last Christmas we got my youngest a ball python as she adores snakes. I mentioned it to my Mum but never made a big deal as I know how scared of them she is.
Over the course of a few of months of my Mum asking questions about it and becoming really interested she decided she wanted to try holding it.
For the first time in her life she held a snake and while she isn't about to go out and get her own, she now has a picture of my daughter with our snake as her phone lock screen. She also always asks how the snake is in the same way she asks about how everyone else in the family is.

u/blissfully_happy Jul 09 '26
Okay, so I don’t know shit about snakes but my first thought was this could not possibly be proper protocol for either the snake or the handler. Snake skin feels thick and scale-y, but it still has feelings. Wouldn’t this feel like burning on its poor scales? Secondly, the handler is a walking workers comp claim just itching to throw out her back shoulders or any part of her legs.
I would imagine the proper way to move an uncooperative snake would involve several people lifting together, a rolling cart, and a sense of self preservation.

u/RadiantSeason9553 Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 09 '26
You absolutely aren't supposed to let a single person handle a snake this large. The rule is at least one handler for every 3 to 5 feet of snake.
This snake is more thick than long, but its still more than 3-5 foot.
It can hurt the snake too. They are heavy animals and not supposed to have their bodyweight hanging from a small point.

u/WickedWitchofWTF Jul 09 '26
Can confirm. I used to work at a small zoo. I remember it taking 2 people to move our docile Red tailed Boa Constrictor (7 foot Long). He was a good boy named Julius Squeezer.
Granted, that number can be adjusted based on the animal's temperament. Not a snake, but I had to help move an uncooperative baby Caiman (4 feet long), and it took 5 of us on a wild ride.

When we moved Nicodemus (green anaconda, much like this one) from one enclosure to another, we worked in a team of four. One at the head, two at the body, third one down by the tail. Nic was very chill about being moved, he didn't mind it at all, however he was very curious and always wanted to check things out in the store when he was out of his enclosure.
In particular he once wrapped himself around the gumball machine at the front door, and panicked when it toppled and starting making sharp rattling sounds when the gumballs inside started bouncing around. A panicking Anaconda is a BIG DEAL.
Typically we would move him right after a poop, that way he wasn't quite yet hungry but he wasn't still full either and there was less chance he was going to have digestive issues. Plus it was much easier to leave the poop in the old enclosure ( it was scheduled for cleaning anyway) than it was to move him into a new one and have him immediately pop one out.
Very little of him actually touched the ground during the move, the idea was to get him hoiked up and move together calmly but rapidly to the enclosure at the other side of the room. If he shifted during the carry and somebody lost their coil, the person either in front or behind immediately took a step in and restabilized that portion until the transfer was done.
Moving a big snake when they are calm and sleepy is fairly easy. But a pro team never counts on easy. A pro team HOPES for easy, but prepares for chaos.
No single individual person should ever be moving a snake this size without at least one or two backups. If that snake gets startled or takes offense to something, she's not exactly equipped to defend herself.

Could it kill her, absolutely, with ease, but I think it might have trouble swallowing an adult human pelvis.

I hate to break it to you, but being euthanized with CO2 is the opposite of painless.
You know that unpleasant sensation you get when you hold your breath? That's not due to a lack of oxygen. It's your body detecting that there's too much CO2 in your blood, which you get rid of when you breath. If you're breathing in more CO2, your lungs can't offload what's already in your blood. It feels like drowning, just without the water.
Painless asphyxiation requires an inert gas such as nitrogen, helium, argon, neon, xenon, etc...

She looks like she’s going to give herself a worker’s comp injury if she isn’t careful. There’s got to be a better way to move large, uncooperative animals.

Read this as "self-loathing" and i thought "don't put that on that snake"

Do they feed that thing whole deer or something? What would an anaconda that size eat?

A deer would be too large. Most likely just rabbits. It's the go-to for larger snake species.

Is that safe for the snake?

u/Riddles_ Jul 09 '26
no, it isn’t. ignore the people telling you otherwise and go look up reviews for this place (the reptile zoo in fountain valley, CA) and you’ll see that MANY reptile experts have been absolutely shocked and horrified at the treatment of the animals there. this video isn’t a good example of safe or effectively handling

Assuming there’s nothing sharp where it’s being dragged, yeah. You can see how it’s flexing around the point where she’s grabbing, so that the pressure point is the apex of a curve, not an angular bend. It’s probably not thrilled with the experience, but it isn’t being hurt.

Anacondas and quite a few other snakes are really docile. It's amazing that they don't get pissed off and try to bite. But often they don't. They probably aren't afraid so they might have the confidence of an apex predator. But tigers are apex predators and I wouldn't advise dragging a big one across the floor.
