Snakes in the pool!....Would you swim with a giant anaconda?

Meet Annie the green anaconda! This 18+-foot reptile is owned by Andrew Biddle of Wild Transport. You may have heard of the show that aired for 1 season on the A&E network. Andrew and his team safely transport all sorts of wild animals all over the country!

On a big piece of private land in Pasco County Florida, there are plenty of wild animals that you've likely never heard of and would never want to encounter in a truly wild environment!. Andrew is licensed through the state to hold and transport animals and he does so with the utmost care.

He also transports the animals to schools and other venues to educate the public about conservation and more.
Andrew recently invited us to take a dip in his pool with his 18+-foot-long friend, Annie the anaconda!

While our show host is a fan of slithering reptiles, getting up close and personal with a snake THIS BIG was a first for me. I'm not inherently afraid of snakes, in fact I find them quite interesting, but the sheer size of this girl will make anyone with half a brain hesitant.

For safety sake, there are several other people looking on and ready to jump in and help should the need arise. The look in the eyes of Andrew's wife anticipated danger but Annie did a great job on camera!

There's nothing like getting up close and personal with animals like this. Some call me crazy, but I call it LIVING!
