hello, you said that you had a large female yellow. any pics of her and does she have the same temperment trates as your males? also do you have any greens? reason is i just finished a few new cages and i was thinking of adding a male green to my collection. i was wondering who is breeding the best colors out there right now and if they might have any of the blue faise. i do have some new pictures of some of my anacondas that i should be posting in the next few days.

` My large female Yellow has the same gentle behavior as the males. She was sold to some hopeful breeders as a yearling. They fed her live, and too much, hoping to mature her early. So, even though she is gentle, and easy to handle, her feeding response is too strong to be careless with. I got her back when they found out that snake breeding is not the get rich quick scheme so many think it is.
` I haven't kept up with who is breeding Anacondas since I got out of retail, three years ago. During that time, I saw Anacondas from many suppliers. The only one I would do business with ( at that time ), was NERD. I liked their animals, and the way they do business. I'm sure that there are currently other Anaconda breeders who are reputable, I'm just out of touch, currently.
` If you're most concerned with appearance, you're more likely to get a beautiful monster. What do you want? A beautiful possession to show-off, or a satisfying pet? Too many people want to look good, and sacrifice the real substance. Then they get tired of the hassle, and discard the snake. SAD.

` Here's a picture of my big girl, in 2002. She was about 11 feet then. She's much bigger, now.
