Honestly im not sure what will happen with his pattern and color. It seems to vary, some hold their dark patterns really well and some the pattern greys out a bit. The breeder told me the dam of the litter was a highly reduced pattern with extremely bright yellows. “Highlighter yellow” is how he described it. I reached out for photos of the parents but have yet to receive anything back. I picked this guy specifically because of how bright his sides and belly were compared to his littermates; they looked nice but his were on a whole other level. I’m hoping that his sides and belly stay extremely yellow or even get brighter, and that his pattern stays really dark and doesn’t fade. But only time will tell. As far as size goes I’m Prepared for up to 9 feet and heavy, but the breeder says the sire is full grown at 6feet. I always take what the vendors say with a grain of salt, it seems like a lot of people like to bend the facts to make a sale. So anyway I’m guessing 6-9 feet and heavy lol.

They are gorgeous snakes. I was blown away when I saw him and for the price I had to jump on it.

I came so close to getting a Green Anaconda about a month ago. I decided to treat the urge like a tattoo and see if I still feel the same in a year.

So, I am very interested in seeing how things go for you. Maybe a Yellow is in my future instead? :rolleyes:

Honestly that’s a great approach to getting snakes, especially larger species. I have decided I’m not going to bring home anymore for a few years At least. I would LOVE a green, well, a male. A female would be more work than enjoyable I think at full grown size, they’re too big and heavy. Greens look awesome though! I think the leopard-esk yellow side spots on yellows are the bees knees however, it doesn’t get much better! Such a cool species. If you get one though, you had better make a post for us to follow!

I’ll post if/when I get one. I’m disappointed that Anaconda owners don’t post very often. :(

Yeah I didn’t realize how little there is compared to just about everything else. There’s a good group on Facebook called Anaconda Keepers that I joined, if you haven’t already go check it out

Lol I joined just about every reptile FB page there is. GTPs, carpets, boas, anacondas, BTS, dumerils, BCL, BCC, Gila and Beaded lizards, venomous reptiles. I just love surfing and looking at all the cool stuff and being the wallflower just reading and learning.

Amazing how much you can learn if you shut up and just watch and read :D

Thats funny I did the same thing! I stopped joining after a few though because now all I see is reptiles on Facebook haha.

I’ve been super swamped this past week with work so I haven’t had much time to do anything other than necessary enclosure cleaning and maintenance for my snakes this week. I did get this guy out for about five minutes of quality handling. He was super calm throughout. I have the day off tomorrow so I’ll be spending some quality time with all the snakes tomorrow. Here’s a photo dump:

Also I found out that someone used the pictures I’ve posted of him on some of the Facebook groups I’m in to scam at least two people out of a few hundred dollars. I contacted all of the admins regarding the ads to get them removed.
Also still working on a name and brainstorming caging possibilities. I’m going to build Sonny’s first of course but eventually I would like to build this guy an enclosure that won’t be a part of the stack that all of the others are in. The reason being is I want to incorporate a larger aquatic section that has canister filtration. So it wouldn’t really fit in the stack well.

Still have yet to name this guy, but I’ll get it eventually. He took his second meal with me today no problem, he ate another live rat hopper. Hopefully he’ll make the switch to frozen/thawed for his next feeding in 7 days. I also grabbed a weight on him before I fed him, he came in at 153 grams. He’s probably about 20 inches or so long, not quite 2 feet but pretty close. Even at his size now he’s got a pretty strong grip, he’s real clingy when I get him out and man can he squeeze.
