Conda pics

As per request, here is Rusalka, my female yellow anaconda.

As a side bit of trivia, a rusalka is a female undead water nymph that lures her victims with her beauty and drowns them in the lake. I thought it fit her. :) (..minus the undead part that is..)

..yes the glove was necessary.

COOL! nice 'conda, i love yellow conda's!

Managed to bite through that glove too.. that girl has some fangs! lol

lol, just wait till shes 8' and is supposidly calm :) nice pics

I have faith in her. She settled down after a few minutes actually. I'm going to work with her several times a week.

Both her parents are calm, and the breeder (very nice guy) says this behavior is normal for young ones.

Mom, can I get a nice little "water boa?" :D Cool shots. Nice gloves too :judge:

lol... yeah I was joking about the 'it's just an amazon water boa, mom!' -before I bought her.

My mom actually held her. :O -luckily when the conda was still acting civilized. :)

The gloves were $6 in the garden section of the hardware store. Very handy.

who knows...maybe a yellow conda has a future with me...in the distant future

Males only get 6-8'.. I didn't think that was big enough, so I got the female. :P

Thats all 6'-8'....I forget how much condas look like BRBs....great pics :D

Yeah.. you know rainbow boas are 'condas closest living relatives?

Yeah....I know :D I found that when I was doing my BRB research....with a top male size of 8', maybe I can talk Katie into letting me have a yellow conda intsead of a BRB :twisted:

There you go! It's a yellow amazon rainbow water boa!

that nice snake they get really big....

Yellow anacondas do not attain the sizes of the greens. Males average 6-8', and females 10-12'.. still large, but not 20'.

Oh,ok...

Awesome looking. In the future I might look into male yellows. So it has big teeth eh?

she looks beautiful. let's hope you dont have to use heavy duty gloves in the future :) what is she eating now?

I think she'll tame down fine.

I gave her a big mouse last week, but when I have small rats, I'll give her those instead.

Wow shelby she looks great, and i think the name is PERFECT for an annie.Good luck with her !

Thanks, she's a great girl! She is taming down very nicely. Last four handling sessions were either bite free, or just one or two half hearted nips. Did you see the pics of my male granite anaconda? He's a sweetie too.. his pics are in general herp with pics of my male dumeril.
