I had a Yellow Anaconda for about a year. It was completely
tame, never even hissed. It was a very cool snake. He seemed
smarter and more aware than a boa, and I've had a number of
boas.

He learned how to open the sliding door on a Vision which none
of my other snakes have ever done. To me, he seemed more like a dog or cat, a pet that needs more attention than just a regular
boa. He would have been a good pet if I had just one snake and
not 6.

The other thing is that keeping a water container clean
in a cage can be a lot of work, the larger the container the
more work, and the greater the stink if you don't constantly
change the water. They also seem to have a faster metabolism
than boas, that means they poop more and require more
maintenance.

These are things to consider. I prefer boas, they're easier to maintain. I know this will probably sound harsh, but after a
while I started to see yellow anacondas as ugly, plain looking
water snakes, whereas boas are always gorgeous to my eyes.
