Man captures 17-foot anaconda, stores it in his bathtub after it eats neighbour's dog
A 39-year-old math teacher in French Guyana recorded on video the capture of a 17-foot-long anaconda that had just eaten his friend’s dog. “At first I was not scared because I thought it was smaller,” said Sebastien Bascoules, a French citizen who’s lived in French Guyana for 15 years. “But I was very surprised by his strength and length – more than five metres.”
The task quickly became a two-man job, but Bascoules said the massive snake was actually fairly tame. “Because it was digesting the dog, it was very calm before I touched it.”
Bascoules, a self-proclaimed reptile fanatic, said he rushed to the river near Montsinery after hearing that the giant predator had eaten a friend’s dog. “A friend phoned me and explained that his dog, Minus, had been eaten by an anaconda close to his house,” Bascoules explained to Barcroft Media. “Since I was 10 years old I have liked handling reptiles, but this was the biggest snake I had ever seen and I had ever caught.”
Because it was dusk by the time the snake was captured, Bascoules decided to keep the snake in his house overnight before releasing it in a river six miles away. After allowing his three children – Noam, 11, Solal, eight, and Mano, five – to interact with the beast, he put the snake in his home’s bathtub. :SayWhat?:
“My wife was worried it might escape from the bathroom during the night,” Bascoules said. “We didn’t have to be worried because I put a cloth on his head so it was blind and became like a big worm.”
