please help yellow anaconda?

ok, so i held a little 5 foot green anaconda, and i seriously fell head over heels for them.

BUT, im not into the whole...
"possibly killing you/omg giant snake" thing.

i heard that yellow anacondas ONLY get around EIGHT FOOT?

is that true?
also


if that is, WHERE DO I GET ONE?
AND HOW MUCH?!!?

Yellow condas are smaller.. but I've seen a 12' 100lb female. Males will typically be smaller.. probably around 8' or so, yeah.

Ben Renick here breeds them.. not sure if he has anything now or not, but I'm sure you could find out. There's usually several ads on kingsnake for them as well.

so do males usually get larger than 8 foot?
thanks shelby!

Males usually hit 6-8 feet.

Yeah.. 6-8' is pretty normal. My adult male yellow is around 7' or so I'd guess.

Ben will be the place to go for yellow annies, and there morphs! Good luck. :gj:

While smaller than its larger relative the Green Anaconda, the Yellow Anaconda can still reach an impressive size. They can exceed fifteen feet in length, although females average less than twelve feet and males average around eight feet. They are primarily olive or yellow in color, with lots of dark markings on the back. Male Yellow Anacondas have preanal spurs near the base of the tail that are used in the courting ritual.

Seems like a pretty interesting snake to be interested in. I haven't heard too much about them, but it seems that they don't get that big. Almost similar sizes to a RTB. Afterall, it is an off species of a boa isn't it?

yes, its a boa.
and i really love greens, but again..
im not a "big" snake person.
the largest we have is a dimond jag X coastal python

DUUUDE get one lol

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O:O so yeah imma get one lol

They're cool snakes.. that one in the picture is a granite morph.

haha, well im really diggin them.
i still am doing research on them to find out as much as i can...
i only own 13 snakes, so im a noob. haha

are they a nippy snake in general?

I've found them to be nippy, yes. I have three yellows.. all of them will bite. The bigger one is calmer though.. could be they mellow with age.

lol, the only pics i have are from the old owner...

who wasnt a good one...

but ill post em!

Well it sounds like you've been busy. ;)

lol yesh!
im defenantly interested in a male yellow in the future...

i got to baby sit a 8 footer a few years back. awesome snake. she liked to hiss and stike though.

yeah ive heard its really hard to find a real docile one...

There is a guy in Reading Pa. that breeds both. He told me greens breed easier, he has

yellows too. I guess if you get babies, and raise them up, they would be more docile. I

don' know though, thats toooo big of a mouth to feed for me. Good luck though.

i know.
i think they are adorable.
they have huge puppy dog eyes...
thats why i fell in love with them...
but im not up to keep a green or a female yellow...
just a little large..

If you do get one just don't forget they are on the Lacey act, so it had to be in your state.
