New Yellow Anaconda owners (pics)

What an amazing animal - I prefer the 'marshmallow' type myself - hahah:D

Void - Goliath is gorgeous :) so yellow and pretty :love:

Pamela has behaved quite well, but there has been a few bite attempts. But we try to teach her that biting wont let her get back to her terrarium so we let her back only when she had behaved well for a while :)
She has gotten much sweeter than she was the first few days even though one wrong movement (on her opinion) gets her angry/scared.

Thanks! He's growing fast already...greedy lil thing that one.

That's good your lil girl is getting better. She's too pretty to just be a display snake. She needs to be brought places and shown off lol.

Having a snake as a pet isn't about bringing it places to show it off, as it can really stress out a snake.

I will admit that I take one of my two snakes to the pet store sometimes, to get them out of the house, but I do all the handling at my house.

Having one doesn't mean it should be stuck inside either. I dont mean they should take trips to the car wash or everywhere you go. Yea bringing the snake to crowded and/or noisy places isn't good but taking em out for fresh air isn't bad either.

No but read what you posted before, you said taken out to be shown off, that's totally different then just taking the snake outside to get some fresh air.

People need to be responsible, and get snakes for the right reason instead of trying to be "popular" or "cool".

Wrong choice of words I guess and never said anything about having them to be cool or whatnot

Oh I know, I wasn't saying you were my friend. I was just saying that normally when people get snakes to show off or whatever it's usually to try to impress people, and that's the wrong reason to get a snake. That's all I meant by it, wasn't trying to hurt your feelings or anything.

Heh believe me my feelings aren't hurt but yea I know people who do that. Girl that works with my gf just got a 12ft python cause she thought it would be cool to have it. Now she has a perfect imprint of its teeth on her leg.

What? I take my big burm down to the bank to show it off, and they throw money at me! Lol Just kidding.

Nothing wrong with out in the yard for some exercise (though yellows can be extremely fast in the grass), but tripping around downtown can cause problems for the hobby. Unfortunate but true.
