Telford man attacked by anaconda on his doorstep

 Email This Post

28-year-old Scott Adams opened his front door Monday morning and was confronted by a huge green serpent, an eight-foot-long anaconda.

The snake, considered to be the largest breed in the world, was wrapped in an old duvet cover and placed inside a really useful box on Scott’s doorstep late Sunday night or early Monday morning. When Scott first discovered the reptile it had been in the cold for a while and was quite lethargic and dull, but a few hours later once it had warmed up the agitated snake attacked Scott, possibly breaking his arm.

“Someone was taking a picture of it and it whipped round and bit me on the elbow” Scott explained.

“I’m pretty sure I have a fractured arm now, there’s no poison in an Anaconda but they are incredibly powerful”

Scott runs a mobile Exotic Zoo which brings interesting creatures to school classrooms or even private parties. He’s decided to re-home the anaconda himself and has christened the whopper, Tiny.
