Incorrectly regarded as a goof

"Factual errors: During the course of the film, the snake eats most of the characters. After large snakes like anacondas eat they stay still while there food digests. This can take days to weeks to be complete - if a anaconda manages to swallow a human it could take over a week to digest it."

I would say, tih is Incorrectly regarded as a goof, because there is more than only one Anaconda in the movie. I would say, the first ones are the smaller male, and the last one is the big mama!

Well, that whole Goof defies the whole purpose of the movie. If it was meant to be real, the snakes wouldn't be that big, that smart, and would never move that fast. Goofs should be things that the filmakers actually screw-up, not something they can't make a reality. This wasn't made to be realistic, but I guess it did go past the contributors head that there were 3 snakes in the movie, and not the same one eating people the entire time.

I'd say a 'conda would take more than a week to digest an adult human

It most likely regurgitated it's food- The Female snake did with Sarone. Remember the snake had babies that needed to be fed. In the second movie it was explained that, if threatened, Anacondas will regurgitate their food so they can kill again.

Snake mothers do not feed their babies, and if they did, how would a baby anaconda eat a human? Snakes swallow their food whole, remember. It's a complete myth that they will regurgitate in order to kill again. That would be utterly pointless. A snake will only regurgitate if it's ill or highly stressed shortly after eating.

"over a week", "more than a week"... what's the difference?
