pretty intimidating when their necks are bigger than thier heads!! Nice shots

all I can think of is that song Lady Whipple put up ... Green anaconda, green anaconda.....

That last image is GORGEOUS! You should put that up for HOTM!

Thanks a lot everyone! Everytime I look at these things, I just love them more and more! Unless their mouth is open and flying at me. :8:

The last picture has lots of blue in it??? Is that the snake?? or just the flash??? Outstanding animals! I can even imagine trying to hold one of them, let alone feed the monsters! lol
AWESOME!

That's mainly just the flash off of the irredecence, those patternless yellows are a pain to get good pics of. Feeding isn't bad since most of them wont snap at their food, or eat whenever you're in the room, handling on the other hand, that can be fun sometimes. :rofl:

The iridescence on the last one is beautiful. I love highly iridescent snakes! I don't really like the thickness of the neck that Anacondas have, but that's just my aesthetic preference. They are impressive and powerful animals, though...and I do appreciate that!

By having necks like that, they can actually bite at almost a complete 90 degree angle, they don't need to coil back or anything to snap (although, they can and will do so still), they just open and swing back and forth until they hit something, which makes them so much more fun to deal with aggressives. :rofl:

Everyonce in awhile you'll come across one with a huge head and slim neck though, some just develop differently I guess. Bites still hurt as bad either way. :8:

Thanks!

THAT IS AWESOME lol that video was hilarious

Very cool video/song! :8:

Thanks!

ben do you have any pics of fresh born babies?

No... :tears: But I'm making a breeding video this season that'll cover courting, copulation, and birth! :gj:

The first one and the last one are sooo cute. I love anaconda faces. lol

They really do have the cutest and calmest looking faces. That's always how the mean ones trick ya! :8:

Yeah.. like when they give you that puppy dog eye like the one in the last pic.. they're just gauging the distance so they can aim better to bite. haha

man your pics still cease to amaze me! Be sur to keep us updated

Ben, you ever worry about ibd?? You have any quarantine protocol since you have boas and pythons?

I just got in a 10 lot of baby yellows yesterday. Actually the first anacondas that I've owned. MEAN little Bas*****

I picked up the first bag and the little devil bit me right threw the bag........

Great shots Ben, how many adults do you have?

I believe your the one who picked up the hypo and anery if your sharing, lets see some updated pics of those :)

Hypo and anery anacondas??? You mean there could possibly be a GHOST anaconda in our future??? OMG... please share :D

Anacondas are actually the only boas I have... :tears: And yep, I have a room in the back that I put everything new in. But no, I don't worry about IBD too much, I rarely get new Anacondas, and with pythons, they are quarantined for a at least a month+.

haha, Yeah, I wish I could say I haven't done that bag deal with some biggins' too, but I've learned to open the bags and just expect a snake to shoot out at me after the first couple times. :rofl: I have somewhere over 10 adults, including yellows.

I didn't know you guys had an anery?! I picked mine up a few years back, refused on me for awhile, which is why it's so small, but now it's popping f/t rats like candy. :gj: Its in shed right now, but I'll get some newer pics after it gets out!

As for the hypo I got from Mike, that's a fun one. :8: Definently one of the most beautiful snakes though!

I want some to produce some Ghost Anacondas so bad... I have another Orange Hypoish green, but it's not quite the same as the Yellow hypo one.

I'm dying to get my hands on a T- Green though... If I could get some Double Het. Snows, I think I would cry! :bow:

Thanks!

If you ever produce some ghost annies... Lord, I may have to get into anacondas myself!

Ben, the first time that I had ever heard your name, you were referred to as the anaconda freak (I think it was Josh from Tampa Bay that gave you that name years ago).

The day the hypo came in, we dumped her out of the bag, into the yard and Mike and I both went holy ****.

We were looking at her in the yard (while she was taking lunging stabs at us) talking about who may be interested in her, I said maybe Dwight, Mike said maybe Jay and then I said what about the Anaconda Freak....

Mike looked at me and laughed, and said who? I replied Rubick? Redneck? Renerek????

Finally got your name right and it looks like she's doing great.

Okay that Green Anaconda song and video is just TOO cute! He does a lot more too from my youtube search. The Iguana one is funny. :D

iguana one?

There's an iguana song, a rhino song, a parrot song, and a few others done by the same artist on youtube.

:8: Yeah, I get that a lot! I knew Josh had an Anery, and I wish I would have picked it off from him, since I think his was a somewhat larger female than mine.

Always great whenever you spell check your last name and the first thing that pops up is Redneck. :8: But yeah, she's doing awesome, eats anything you put in front of her, including yourself, and should be up to a good breeding size in another year or two. :partyon:

Thanks for the video as well! :banana:


Thanks!

Ben any updates on the new facility? I'm getting ready to start building by the end of February.

What the new size?

It's coming along, with the weather we had over the last few weeks, it's slowed down some. But we just got all the wood and beams delivered, so we're ready to start up some building! It's going to be 3500 sq ft, two stories. I'll probably end up filling it up pretty quick with all the big stuff I have though! :weirdface

That's awesome on you getting a new place as well! It's nice to get out of clutter... and then probably move right back into it within another year. lol
