    I've been struck at way more times by burmese and out of the 30 or so I've dealt with majority have tried to tag me.

    Anacondas - 3/20
    Burms - 22/30

    I've never dealt with a WC burm eithier to top that off, and I've dealt with 2 WC anacondas, one being a green.
    I've dealt with hundreds of greens, yellows, and burmese pythons, WC and CB, and i can assure you the anacondas are more prone to bite

    We've had an adult gravid yellow female for the past few months who is tame as can be... 99% of the time :B The other 1% of the time was when I pulled her out to show somebody how tame she was. That's how it goes, I guess.
