message: Should there be a classification box with kingdom, order, phylum and so on?  Not a biologist, but came looking for that information, and I've seen it in entries for other species.Otterswimshome (talk) 17:36, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There are such boxes in the articles on particular anaconda species, such as the green anaconda Eunectes murinus. Tim Vickers (talk) 17:48, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The article states that anacondas are found in Sri Lanka, but I thought they were only found in S.America. Maybe there should be a map of it's range, as is found on other animal's pages? VenomousConcept (talk) 09:55, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A map would be useful, yes.  As far as Sri Lanka, the page actually says that the term may have been applied to a snake from Sri Lanka which was almost certainly a reticulated python (and was most definitely not an anaconda. HCA (talk) 16:20, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Map? 

message: There are two pages on anacondas, this one, and one for the genus Eunectes. Maybe these two should be merged? There should probably also be a specific page for the Bolivian anaconda. VenomousConcept (talk) 11:42, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I have tried improving the referencing of the etymology section which seemed to singularly point to a Tamil origin. There are other notes and I believe I have provided the best references available. I have reverted a recent edit that puts this back and I would like to point out that citations have also been removed. Shyamal (talk) 03:53, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: To point out specifically - this is downright incorrect - there are no reticulated pythons in Sri Lanka. Is there a reference for V. Jonasson ? Shyamal (talk) 03:56, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

message: :Any large snake that "constricts" its prey (see Constriction), if applied loosely, was called anaconda
I'd like to reword this-- can I just check that it's the term that's applied loosely, not the constriction? The Wednesday Island (talk) 11:16, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Underneath the photo of the man with a snake it says "Columbia". I suppose that the country Colombia is meant? This spelling is wrong and not well-received by Colombians. KHeinz (talk) 02:30, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

message: In Greek mythology, The Anaconda was a snake/python so huge that it encircled the world at the Equator ! Call it what you may, but the points to the tale are as follows: 
A. It was a completely mythological creature, and it was like a python, which the Ancient Greeks knew of. 
B. The Ancient Greeks had contacts, via travelers, in India, Burma, Ceylon, etc. Later on, the Romans even exchanged ambassadors with China. See the map of the world that was drawn by Ptolemy, a Greek in Egypt.24.156.78.205 (talk) 07:21, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

text: Support - Personally I would prefer the other way around but its just a personal opinion, however these are the same topic and no point in having both so I support this. Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 20:55, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: just an addit, the Eunectes page is a far more complete and better description and discussion so please preserve much of it in the merge. Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 20:57, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed! - UtherSRG (talk) 23:40, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

text: Support although the Eunectes page is much more complete and Anaconda should be merged into it rather than the opposite, although the title can be left at the common name "Anaconda". Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 10:00, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't matter which way the merge goes, as long as the end result is at the Anaconda title. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:21, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

text: Support, since "anaconda" can refer to any species in the genus Eunectes. 142.222.9.239 (talk) 17:32, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
