I've heard about how Anacondas have different methods, to the point where it seems like they are very smart. I guess that is the only thing I am nervous about not seeing the bite coming, but it's something I've had to deal with if I ever do plan on purchasing one in the future. I do love them, they are beautiful creatures no doubt and I agree that people give them a bad rep. Just say the word "Anaconda" and they all tell you your crazy and get all quiet.

I am going to purchase a burm as my first big python/boa. Since I have handled them more and are more familier to them than Anacondas right now I feel more comfortable with it. A friend and myself are going to the chicago reptile house tonight to see if they got in any babies, otherwise I will be waiting until Nate's babies hatch out here soon.

Thanks for the advice guys, once I pick up the new baby i'll definatly have pictures up ASAP
