Never heard of it. Of course, I've only been dealing with snakes on a serious basis since 1955. Green anaconda is Eunectes murinus. Yellow anaconda is Eunectes notaeus.

I know for sure they are a colubrid. As for which genre and the exact scientific name, email the retailer and ask him. He could probably instruct you since he has the snakes in front of him.

This is the problem when a dealer or wholesaler decides to invent or use a local name to describe a snake they are not familiar with. Was it listed in KINGSNAKE classifieds? I will look for it and see if I can find something.

Because I asked. Homalopsis buccata. It's a semiaquatic rearfanged colubrid from southeast Asia. A more common name is the puff-faced water snake.

Peter: It's OK, I'll handle it. I read a book about something like this.
Brian: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't NOTHING?
