Need advice from Anaconda keepers :)
Just a gist, I'm based in Manila (aka, retics are considered native fauna) I've kept afrocks, retics, ground boas and ball pythons and I'm deliberating on my next acquisition for december. Just hope I could get a few Q's on anaconda husbandry in general.
1) NERD's caresheets indicated the same humidity maintenance for anacondas and retics, although it did mention that yellow anacondas are more "tolerant of a dryer environment". Since I keep my python enclosures in my room (no AC), would I have any issues with anacondas? Or should I regularly mist their enclosures? I originally considered a blood python or even a BRB but I decided against it because it is said that they are not so forgiving with the Philippine climate. Is the same true for either anacondas?
2) as far as personality(ies) is/are concerned, how would anacondas (either green/yellow) compare to say....the retic or afrock? Are they easier to "train" compared to retics/afrocks? or roughly just the same?
3) in my experience, I've had ZERO feeding issues with retics and my lone afrock. can I expect the same from either anaconda?
4) which anaconda is considered "easier" to care for when it comes to husbandry, feeding and training?
thanks in advanced
1.0 Dwarf Philippine Island Retic (Crixus)
1.0 Normal Ball Python (Achilles)
1.0 miniature werewolf...lol...he's a cross bet. a Daschund and a Shih Tzu (Koda)
Once you go Retic, you get the best pick!
