New Green Anaconda

I love it!

Each individual has their own personality. I've dealt with calm greens and temperamental greens. The same goes for yellows.

The yellow I used to have I got from Matt Crews in FL before they banned the whole over state thing. She was a sweetheart.

Really cool best of luck. For a small collection you got some interesting stuff.

definitely keep us updated with pics, if you want to toss in some rattlesnake photoshoots from time to time would be great

What are your thoughts on that?

Whats the best place to pick one up once i'm ready to make that plunge? The baby ball I got now is super easy going. I kinda want something a little more mean...lol.

How fast do they grow compared to the ball python?

I think the advice to not get a green for your first was very good advice. Giants really aren't first snakes. A good idea would be to try a female boa constrictor, they get pretty big (13 ft) and heavy so are good practice for a giant. Or a blood. You said you want something meaner, and most boa constrictors are pretty nice, so maybe a big female blood that hasn't been handled much would be something you're looking for. Whatever you do, try to take getting into giants slowly. They can be dangerous. Not trying to fear monger, just being real. In the mean time look at handling videos and read up on safety. You could also ask around, so many giant keepers are pretty friendly and give advice freely.

Beautiful baby, they look very happy with their setup :)
