Wow now that... Is a snake, how are they behavior wise? Do they make good pets?

Generally speaking, no. They are the heaviest body snake in the world and second in recorded length ~ 33'. This makes for a very strong snake that at the size I'm holding one, if it wanted its way, it would win - even with two handlers - unless of course the handlers were folks like those seen on tv.

Most of the green anacondas that I've "met" - their owners don't trust their snakes. Generally speaking this snake species isn't predictable or docile, tough there are some exceptions (such as the one I was holding in the pix above, and Jewskin's young snake). I'd say do a ton of homework on them before getting one. And do try to see a large live one in person to understand the strength of the animal and see what you would be getting into. Oh, and they are aquatic, love their water, so if you wanted to keep one as a pet, keep in mind that you should provide a water basin that is large enough for them to fully submerge themselves. I hope this helps and I didn't provide TMI, I'm just trying to dissuade you without being domineering.

That's okay, tell it to the half a dozen or so folks who've uploaded the youtube vid. And while you definitely made the correct identification, you can't deny that it still proves the point I was trying to make - a large boid is no pet for a person who isn't fully aware of the snake's size and abilities.

i totally agree with you hence why most every animal I end up with is someone realized they aren't for them...I keep a few and find the others the best possible homes...the green and yellow are both going to brandon

[Charlie And Lucy]

Wow! Great pic, gorgeous animal

[king216]

lol lets just say I am working with the yellow but my green is super docile

wow i thought they would be mean, i have no reason to think that, i just never really did any research on anacondas
