Yellow Anaconda update

She is beautiful and it is always nice when you have a friendly one :gj:

Yep, I always seem to get the good temper ones of anything I own.

Do you have any pics of her all streched out?

I hope your awake for this and keeping an eye on her, i imagine one of these nights you might not find her at all. Be careful, i would hate for you to wake up and find your investment missing.

Nice yellow. I have a female just turned 2. She's nine feet plus. Had her at seven feet at one year of age. If you want her to grow, feed her every 3 days.

Mine is calm and handleable as well. Retics can be as well, it's all in the taming process. Don't understand how people can have nasty snakes...

Had a green many years ago as well that was as tame as can be.

There are downfalls with doing that though. I've read in a few cases of people doing that and the organs grew too fast and the snake died early. I feed weekly(on Fridays).

that's a nice snake. If you feed a HUGE meal every 3 days, I could see how that could put a lot of stress on the snake's body. but if you feed smaller meals, more often, you can get steadier, good solid growth, it won't hurt a baby, and once she's bigger, you can slow up a bit :)

as for letting the snake sleep outide the cage... be really careful, I know that you feel you are bonded with your snake, and it's great that your snake tolerates you so well, but snakes do not feel emotional bonds to either people or other snakes, and they don't cuddle, they have no understanding of anything emotional or sentimental. She may tolerate your petting and touching, but she doesn't "love" it, per say. So while it's nice that you love your snake so much, for it's health and safety, just please remember, it's a snake, and not a dog or a cat. She WILL at some point decide to wander off on you. She may only be staying close to you because you are so warm and being out of the cage for a prolonged period of time, means less time out of the controlled environment that it needs to be in for optimal health.
