The most deadly snake is the golden eyelash viper. There are over 160 different varieties of snakes in the rainforest. Some live along muddy riverbanks. The green tree boa makes its home in the trees.
Coral snakes live under stones or logs on the forest floor.
The biggest snake in the Amazon is the anaconda. This dangerous reptile can get up to 20 feet long. Hungry anacondas hang about along riverbanks, waiting for their prey to come near the river. They grab their prey and squeeze them to death. After that they swallow them whole.
