This is very true, but you never want to get an animal just because 'its cool'. Haha. But it definatly would be awesome to have an animal such as a yellow anaconda in my collection.

They are very rewarding. I like our big female, but the wait for her to drop her babies is taking forever!

its not cool to own any animal its " a rewarding experience" The people that think its cool are usually the ones that give us the bad press

It is definatly a rewarding experience, even to own any of these awesome animals at all. You are very right though, it's those who just say 'its cool' that ruin it all for us.

I am sure your very anxious! lol

The animals are cool for sure- who can argue that a solid blue gecko the size of a nickel, or a 15 ft long yellow and purple reticulated python isn't cool?

The problem lies in the other reasons that you keep them- if there are no other reasons than that the animals are "cool" then you have a bit of a problem!

I agree completely.

It's ok to want an animal because you tink it looks awesome, or would be cool to own.

Like Mike said though, if there isn't any other reasons besides that fact, then you have no business keeping that species.

I got my Yellow because they're neat and unique, but it's not the only reason I got her. I wanted a snake that got big, but not as big as the others. I know I also wanted something in the boa family, and something that isn't as kept as much as other snakes. I did my study on Yellows, and I talked to Matt a lot before I ordered, like 2 months before I even purchased my girl.
