My heart dropped when I heard your story. People might think it is stupid because these are "just snakes" but green anacondas are particularly difficult to keep and through all the work you grow and extreme attachment. While cleaning out a cage once my green went in the wall where a cable jack was missing. This feeling made me want to run my car into a tree after feeling so stupid. I figured that instead of killing myself as an instant reaction I would destroy my apartment. I grabbed a hammer and through hits with the hammer and my raging fist, I destroyed the wall but i managed to get the anaconda out. My cage will not shut unless you lock it with a key but mistakes can happen quick. Unfortunately I will not recomend the source of which I got my green anaconda for a number of reasons despite the fact that I have a very docile and perfect looking animal that is pretty healthy. I have no idea if Kelly Haller has many snakes left from his breeding projects but he is a great source. His work with captive greens is greater than anyone I can think of. I would have no problem getting a snake from him and can't wait to hear when he has more babies because if he wouldn't mind shipping one this way I want one the minute I am 100% sure of the sex of my green. I think I am going to have Mark Petros check it out next weekend. If you are interested in any yellow anacondas, I know Mark Petros is the guy you want to get it from. I have never seen yellows look as good as Marks. If you were to want any slightly larger very calm individuals for a pretty good price, I do know of a few people who can help you out...where are you from?
