    Yellow anaconda or morelia amethistina

    So I've kept snakes for quite some time now; balls, bloods, boas, carpets, you name it and I think I'm ready for one of the bigger species now. I've been looking at yellow anacondas and morelia amethistina for quite some time, I've heard they are both known to be unpredictable but I kinda like that. Which one would you guys say would be the better choice (I'd probably buy the animal as a baby or sub adult) or do you have any other sugestions for spiecies I could look into? Burms and retics are not an option for me as they are illegal where I live (Denmark)

    Thanks!

    That's what I think too, but can you tell me if they have a good feeding response?

    Umm, I've never heard of them having a timid feeding responce. But some retics are timid feeders too. I don't think you'll have a problem with feeding them, and if you do, there are some tricks in the morelia forum that work

    Thank you! After handling both anacondas and scrubs today, it wasn't really a hard decision, I went home with this girl. She hates my guts already so I'm happy!

    Beautiful girl! Scrubs are a much easier snake to hold imo. You'll probably get bit more, but you're comfortable while you're getting bit

    Nice. I've got a Yellow Anaconda and he's been an amazing snake for me. Eats great and only bit me once when i first got him. I can tell he's gonna be hard to handle when he's older. He likes to wrap around my hand or arms alot.
