New Yellow Anaconda owners (pics)
On the other topic I said that we are going to get our yellow anaconda this week, and here she is:

Yeah I said that we are going to get a male but we thought a male would be too small :rolleyes: I just took few quick shots before we put her to her new home. I'll take some more when she settles down. She was a lot more yellow than any of her siblings.
Oh, and we named her Pamela :D
We were able to handle her mommy too, and she was extremely calm and beautiful. Here are some pics of her:

And here she is with me:

She was a lot heavier than I thought and it was quite hard to handle her. I didn't handle her for a long time because I was afraid that she would squeeze the baby out of me too early :rolleye2: very tight grip :D
(and I did resize them on photobucket but seems that it's playing tricks again. Sorry if the pics are too large, but they will probably get smaller after few hours.)

Very nice, awesome coloring, and the mother is amazing.
Just get ready for a either, large, strong aggressive snake, or a docile huge marshmallow.
Welcome to the very rewarding club of keeping condas.
Re: New Yellow Anaconda owners (pics)
very cool looking snakes! :gj: it's kinda funny how heavy they can get on you...how big will your new one prob get (full size)???
Re: New Yellow Anaconda owners (pics)
I love anaconda faces. They're just so cute. Congrats! She's pretty!
Re: New Yellow Anaconda owners (pics)
Thank you :)
Pamela is quite feisty :rolleye2: She just tries to bite all the time ,even though we handle her calmly, but I guess she's just scared. She ate today for the first time.
I hope she becomes the "docile huge marshmellow", but we are prepared if she remains feisty.
I don't know how big she'll get but her mom is about 8 feet. Depends how much we feed her :D her mom is 7-10 years old.

Ooooh, she's so cute.
The "feisty" temperament should go away with regular handling. Once she realizes that you are not a threat, you'll be good to go.
Mom seems to be more than 8 feet to me...
Congratulations.

Re: New Yellow Anaconda owners (pics)
I'm not sure if I put right length of the mom, since I use metres usually, not feets :D but anyways her owner said that she's about 2,5 metres.
Yep, Pamela showed some improvement yesterday already :) Didn't even try to bite even though we handled her for quite a while. Didn't seem to be scared either since she wasn't on her usual "s-position" and was just curiously slithering around :D
Re: New Yellow Anaconda owners (pics)
2.5 metres is like 7.5 feet. She appears way bigger than that to me.
My four year old female is close to ten feet, but not that big in girth yet.

Beautiful baby! My gf and I got our lil guy...Goliath...last month and he is really calm and sweet. He even gets along with our Burmese Python Behemoth.He's only struck 3 times since we got em and the 1st was when we took em out the box he came in. That of course was expected.
The other two times was when we was cleaning him off after he was hanging out in his water bowl after he let loose in it. That's when we found out he doesn't like wash cloths. Soon as it touched him he struck and no it wasn't warm so he didn't think it was food. He's ok with it now and hasn't struck anyone or anything since.
Here's two pix of him
