anyone?

anyone here own an anaconda?

We do not have one in as of now. But they are a beautiful species. e have worked with both yellows and greens..
Nice animals I think.
You just can not keep them as a "pet". They really aren't pet material in my opinion.
But they are a beautiful species. And when housed and respected with good husbandry skills, they are an incredible animal to be owned by.

Rusty, Great point. My next door neighbor has a green anaconda. She's about 12 feet long and still growing and she definitely owns him!! I have some great pictures! if anyone is interested, I'll post a few here. Let me know.

I am interested.

JohnF...get me as many as possible! what is it eating and how often? i think their just simply amazing animals.

We have a few. Personally they're not my cuppa...but they're extremely interesting animals for the initiated keeper.

Definetly gonna have a yellow anaconda one of these days. My local shop has a breeding pair of yellows so maybe sometime this upcoming summer :D

Her name is Morsheeba and she's a beaut!

ooooo,very very cool. :D

They are awesome looking snakes.....if only they didnt get so massive :?

I like the greens better than the yellows.

I get to see several every day at work. We actually have the largest green in captivity. She's 325 lbs and 22'. Also there's a bunch of her babies that she had 6 months ago.. and a breeding pair of yellows.

I don't care for the yellows, but the greens are awesome. They have a certain, different look about them.

Here's a headshot of the big one.

wow. those snakes a beautiful. JohnF...is the conda tame?

Jason, I don't know if I'd call her tame. She is certainly moody and my friend only handles her when she's receptive to it. When she's in a good mood she's a sweetie, when she's in a bad mood she's a terror. Rumor has it though that she is somewhat of a star and has appeared on a handful of TV shows so she is used to people and bright lights!!
