This account is about an American woman who lived in an oil camp occupying less than a square mile 

 at Quiriquire in the NE of Venezuela 250 miles east of Caracas. Her home is built on 10-foot stilts 

 and sometimes has snakes in the shower. The author quickly learned to check floor and other areas 

 for snakes or other forms of life. Shown is a 22-foot Anaconda killed while it was entering the 

 commissary. A 7-foot Bushmaster was killed in front of the labor office and it is noted that 

 Mapanares, Fcr-de-lance, and Boas are common but the Bushmaster wasn't. An account of a battle of 

 an Anaconda and Cayman is told. An approximate 19-foot Anaconda when opened up on another 

 occasion contained a slightly decomposed 6-foot Cayman as shown by the photo of it.
