I’m on that same boat...love them all. lol There are a lot of species that I admire, and some that I’ve owned in the past and wish I hadn’t given up. These days I’m sticking with smaller species. I no longer have the backup of my other half since losing him in April, and not a lot of friends who’ll lend a hand with my creepy critters. That said, I’ve expanded my BP collection this year and gotten some long desired morphs from my wish list, so it’s hardly a hardship. :P

Re: 2018 Yellow Progression
I’ve heard males between 6-9 is pretty normal, and the breeder said the sire was an adult at 6 feet. So I’m not really expecting larger than 9 feet which will be decently manageable. For now enclosure upkeeps is super easy because he’s so small. He always poops in his water so I just change his water daily and change out bedding every once in a while. The enclosure I’m building now I had planned with the Annie in mind though so there will be a large bathing space, which will probably be a bit more difficult. WORTH IT.

Maybe get it drilled and fit a drain plug for maintenance
Along the same lines but without the viewing opportunity a tank would provide, you can get rain barrels or half barrel “ponds” that are already fitted with a drain plug that attaches to a garden hose. It should be easy enough to cutdown to the depth you want.

Update on the anaconda! He’s been doing great. Did a full tub scrub down today and got him out for some handling and pictures. Also snagged his weight- 249g, up just short of a hundred grams since last weigh in. The feeders that came in for him were a tad on the large size for him, so he’s been eating every other week and he seems to be thriving on it. He’s also been an awesome handler, he’s yet to strike at me ever, and isn’t super flighty when he’s out; rather he clings on pretty damn tight and just hangs out. I think relative to size his grip seems to be the strongest by far. Here’s a photo dump! He’s starting to look slightly darker than usual, he may be coming up on a shed in the next couple of weeks.
