When coiling around an animal and squeezing the pray to kill it, as soon as the heart stops the snake releases. The Green Anaconda has very sharp fangs, Anacondas have a very large number of sharp rear teeth, they will not use the fangs to inject venom, the Anaconda will use them to grab hold of their prey.
