I have to concur with the sentiment here about big snakes. While I do not know you or your abilities as a snake keeper, these are animals that are capable of causing great harm and death as evidenced by these tragic stories:
Amanda Black
Shaiunna Hare
12-foot snake attacks pet shop owner
While I know that these stories are of pythons, it doesn't deter from the fact that large snakes can seriously hurt or even kill people. Also take in the fact that most injuries happen from pet snakes that have been kept for many years and were considered handle-able by their keepers.
While Yellow Anacondas might not grow as large as a Green Anaconda, they can still easily attain 10+ feet in length and are still generally as aggressive as any anaconda gets. Considering that you also have a child in the house, I would seriously reconsider getting such a pet which can jeopardize you or your child's safety in the case of a simple oversight or accident.
All the best!
