If you can't stand snakes then look away now - this is the stunning video captured by dam construction workers in Brazil of a gigantic 10m anaconda that found its way into their building site.
The huge serpent, capable of eating a man, has been tied down to a crane and a chain is wrapped around it.
But the images provoked a storm of criticism on YouTube from commenters who said the snake should not have been killed.
A shot of its massive, broad head shows its mouth agape and eyes glazed over.
One commenter said: "Shame on these people for killing it! A snake that big has probably been alive for a very long time now, just to be killed for a few pictures? What a waste."
Another added: "Why would you kill such a beautiful snake?"
A third commenter, a self-professed snake lover, weighed in and said: "I adore the cuties. I have two of my own. But they were doing construction, and it was in the way.
"Do you know how hard it is to move a 30 foot snake? Especially a wild anaconda.
"Anacondas are extremely aggressive snakes. Even in captivity, they're extremely hard to tame down and can be very bitey. A wild one, I wouldn't want to mess with at all."
