The lake is called Lake Hopatcong but some would call it Lake "Hopat-conda"! Recently, there was a fifteen-foot anaconda spotted in the lake by local resident Tony Colantonio.
According to Colantonio, the snake was actually harassing him while he was swimming in the lake so he proceeded to sprint out with no harm done.
"It was straight across, right where the boat is but a little further back. And I just got out of the water and just took off like a bandit!" He said.
However, he wasn't the only one to come across a snake. In fact, there has been other occurrences and reported sightings. So two reptile specialists were called in to try and catch the snake.
