Over on the anaconda forum, I started a thread about

how to protect oneself from a large (pet) anaconda

attack. I got alot of flack for it but that's another

issue. Anyway, for those of you who own large (14 foot

plus?) retics, I was wondering if any of you have any

special tools or techniques to ensure your safety.

I've suggested things like zap guns, pepper spray,

and cold water that might fend off an attack. I think

the "AFH Guidelines on Keeping Large Serpents" is largely

unrealistic and inadequate for practical use, although

one can't argue with the suggestions in it.



And please, I've already gotten comments like:



- if you need a weapon against your anaconda, you

have no business having an anaconda

- what are you doing with an anaconda, you idiot?



Any constructive comments would be much appreciated.



P.S. One very interesting fact surfaced, almost no

one who accesses the anaconda forum has a large

anaconda ! Thanks.
