` 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.
