My new anaconda (DU warning)

[Shelby]

Well, I picked up the bad boy today. He's around 6.5'. He's pretty calm, though he did try biting me twice in the usual sideways swipe anaconda way. He missed. It was half-hearted.. and I don't blame him. Moving to a new home is stressful.

Anyway, here he is! Oh yeah, and he's a granite morph, and a proven breeder. I have one of his offspring (Lurch is my baby male annie)



Dunno what he got on his face.. I think he needs to take a bath. He's got a nice big water tub in his boaphile!

wow, he is very cool lookin. i love that last pic, i think it would be pretty cool for HOTM.

[Shelby]

Thanks Marshall. I was thinking of HOTM too.

great looking conda shelby, looks like calcium or mineral build up on his face I have seen it several times on snakes that tend to spend large amounts of time in the water in a area that has hard water, I have to treat my water or all mine would get it.

[Shelby]

That was what my guess was, Sean. We have very hard water here.

Granites are so pretty! The local I bought my BPs from had a young pair of granites that were gorgeous, however very tempermental. Glad to hear yours is pretty calm.

Congratulations! His colors are beautiful...what's his name? =)

[Shelby]

He doesn't yet have a name. I'm thinking.

My next female annie will probably be Nagini.. but this one's a boy, so I don't know.. The other two annies are Lurch and Rusalka.

anaconda's have the most interesting face sometimes- you really capture some spirit in those pics, he looked like "what? what did i do?"
-lol- what was that on his face?

[Shelby]

Yeah he does have that 'I'm innocent.. really!' look on his face.

Annies have the cutest bug eyes.
