Ancient Constrictor

Gleaming, constricting-
   Swallowing Ancient worship
      Anaconda creeps.



* Anacondas were once, and perhaps still are, revered and worshiped as
A God figure to Amazonian tribal natives. Anacondas are also one of the 
few animals who actively seek, and ambush, human prey.

You want to see me run? Let me a snake, any snake, dead, alive I do not care. I will run like the coward I am when it comes to a snake! I love how you explain at the end. It is really helpful to someone like me that had no clue the snakes were worshipped. Very interesting!

My fav. in any movies, put a giant snake in it I will watch it. Add it to your tittle I will read it. I am that kind of person very easily amused by them serpents. Tell me to touch one . I will say, "HELL NO!" WHEN I SAW THE TITTLE I knew it was going to be about anacondas, do to the ancient. Yes I know about them Amozon worshipers. P.D.
