Over the years i have come into contact with probably well over 100 wc neonate anacondas from guyana and i have yet to see one that didnt turn into a very tractable animal very quickly.From my experience these young anacondas do not like being grabbed or pulled about-if you handle them roughly you can almost guarantee they will bite, If however you handle them gently i have found they dont tend to bite at all. Interestingly i have found that this tendancy does not seem to change throught their lives,i have and have had many ltc greens that have all been very placid and great to handle but all will bite if you are rough with them-the only time i ever get bitten is if i decide to handle them after ive been drinking!However this gentle handling does not seem to work with wc neonate yellows which tend to be significantly more nervous and bite without the slightest provocation.
