since the tunr on the ban, yellow conda ??

since all the fear of the ban, i was going to get a yellow when i got out of collage, but as of know im scared. i've keep snakes, almost a year, i've studied big snakes, so im pretty sure im ready for one, but does anybody know a good yellow conda specific care sheet, yahoo, hasn't retrieved any good ones yet

You should not fear congress. Or the ban. We should be pulling together and not worrying about if we are going to be allowed to own these animals. We should be working as hard as we can at defeating this bill. We have the power united to destroy this thing and then you can get your yellow when you finish college.

from the way i read it, if the ban were to pass you can still own and buy them within your state.

are you serious. i thought the bill was to ban them period, and the would be illegal to buy like drugs or somthing, also denial i was about to pm, you, since i know you keep the big ones, i do try and have sent enough fax and calls, i've lost count. to let you in on a little of my life history, i had 4 gamecocks, of courese for looks, i live on a farm, so loving chickens is a must, the neighbor complained, the animal control came and took them all, because i had roosters and they were breed to fight, short story, they took them away cause they thought i was fighting my pets, i tried but couldn't do anything about, but i bought some more hehe, though this was when i was youger and less roughty-point of stroy is--I do get paranoid about them taking them away, i've waited 20 years to have one, and finally had a chance to get a bp, and now im addicted

True but the unfortunate thing is not every state has a breeder for each of these animals listed.

Also, many of the breeders out there depend on sales outside their own state to stay in business; how much market is there for anacondas in the state any given breeder is in? Retics? Boas? Burmese? I would imagine most breeders would either have to scale back to producing 1-2 clutches/year max or quit altogether, except possibly in huge/high population states like California.

I don't keep any giants, and I don't plan to, but this bill still scares me. It's no HR669, which would have made transporting even my leopard gecko across state lines a felony, but it's the first step down a road I don't want to travel.

The ban is that you cannot trade/sell out of state, or even transport it out of state.

you got look at it this way to how many cops do you know that will seat at the state line wating on car to come through and stop and check every one of them.. But the only bad thing with that is most state you have to have a perm. though right?

If it passes, and you do get caught, its a Federal charge also. I wouldn't recommend talking about what you're referring to as you will probably get a violation, they like to hand them out like candy.

In New Jersey both Anacondas are prohibited to own or possess. :mad:

There is 4 species of anaconda.
Eunectes notaeus - Yellow Anaconda
Eunectes deschauenseei - Dark Spotted Anaconda
Eunectes murinus -Green Anaconda
Eunectes beniensis - Beni or Bolivian Anaconda

sorry, but in the regs they state Green and Yellow.

Not really, sometimes yes, but a lot of the time no. Anyways it's off subject.

You brought it up.
And it's justified if it violates the ToS, which, talking about breaking the law does in fact do.

It's unfortunate. I love yellow anacondas and am hoping to one day own one when I have a larger home for one.

Fighting against the bill by calling your senate and congress the best you can is what we need to do. Instead of worrying about it, we should fight about it.

Ok, its been a loooong time since ive been on here.
My views on this is...

if your ready, get one now.
we are fighting for our rights. it doesnt mean its going to stop the ban.

get it before the ban, or take the chance of never owning one.
its your choice. but personally, id do it before the ban.

Im just going to point out that a year of snake keeping is more than likley not enough experience to justifie a yellow anaconda. I've had a BP for almost two years and know for a fact I am not ready for anything much bigger than a blood python (6-10). And yes I feel those snakes larger than 10ft, even yellow anacondas ranging from 10-12ft (wiki), are different enough that more experience is required. I wouldnt rush into an anaconda even with the ban

So really go get whatever you want before the ban, who's the wiser if you are getting only one as a pet. Unless youre in FL and have to have them chipped there is no way they could have a clue.

If they knew how many average Joes like us had the monster snakes they would sh#t a golden brick. But then again there are very very few deaths due to a pet snake, it does happen but it's not a threat to national security like they make it seem.

Who's to judge that a year of snake keeping isnt enough experience to justify getting a yellow? Just because you may not have been keeping snakes that long as pets doesn't mean your not experienced enough to own certain species. My first snake that I kept as a pet was my yellow anaconda. I decided I wanted a yellow anaconda, I purchased one like 2 weeks later, I did some re-search on caresheets, and then found a reliable source that sells them. You can't base somebodys experience off of how long they've kept snakes is all i'm saying.
